      Pros

      There is very good work environment and people are so friendly. You will learn a lot for sure. You will work on real critical projects.

      Cons

      The work life balance is slightly disturbing. The salary is less compared to the job you are doing. But overall if you are interested in analog/RF it totally worth the pain.

We are also hiring in key areas, so we welcome any candidates you may want to refer.

      modern day slavery

      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.

      Great place to work if you are not white or old

      Pros

      Lots of interesting work, good pay and opportunity.

      Cons

      They seem to have gone on the age and race discrimination band wagon. If you are Asian and young you will fit in. Old white guys need not apply if you are young this might be the place for you

      Thank you for sharing your feedback from your time at MaxLinear. I think our teams would agree with you that the work here is interesting (and cutting-edge) but we are surprised that you felt our workforce wasn’t diverse. We have employees from a broad range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds and in all age ranges. And, as our careers page shows on our website, we are actively recruiting for positions throughout the company for both junior level roles and quite senior level positions. We wish you the best moving forward.
