Pros

Maxlinear has acquired many groups from different companies recently so you can expect tons of work but don't expect any help from other.

Cons

it is modern day slavery where engineers are treated like slave. be ready to work from 8AM to 11PM everyday including weekend. forget about family life. you will be under lots of pressure to deliver because management will be behind you all the time. Very average digital engineers but they think that they are best. Poor quality of work in India. Less salary and raise. I won't be surprised if they cut your salary. incapable Design and Verification lead. even few years experience guys will perform better than them. horrible india's office

Thank you for giving feedback. While MaxLinear may not have been a good fit for you, we are actively hiring in India and work hard to select the best candidate for each position. Work hours may be shifted some to allow engineers to collaborate with other international teams, but we don’t expect employees to work 15 hour days. In the local area (Bangalore), our current staff is seen as being exceptionally talented. We wish you the best in your next position.
