      HR Is A Revolving Door

      Pros

      Sometimes they have BBQs. The employees are hard working.

      Cons

      Human Resources employees at MaxLinear have a shelf life of approx 6 months. Work hours are long and demanding. There is no work/family balance. You are required to work 60-80 hours per week including weekends. They put you on salary so you don't get paid overtime. The environment becomes hostile when leadership yells at employees.

      Pros

      Many very talented engineers working at the company. Aggressive, critical, negative management chased away tons of talent, but they eventually learned from their behaviors which led to a work environment that shifted from terrible to tolerable. Seems to be good at sniffing out profitable acquisitions.

      Cons

      "we are better than everyone" egotistical smugness, while treating the engineerings with combative attitudes. High attrition and difficulty hiring results in even longer work-weeks. Vacation+Sick lumped into single "PTO" means people show up to work sick, otherwise they have to use their vacation time. And when I was there pre-covid, management wanted butts in seats, very little work-from-home flexibility, because they didn't trust anyone. Low salary in belief of stock being the retaining force.
