Maxis Communications Employee Reviews & Ratings

bad and cheap company don't care about compensation no diversity

Work life, limited opportunity to grow

cubes are small. location is okay.

none that I can think of

Maybe a little low compensation.

no long term job commitment

work from home onboarding is difficulkt

I haven't found any cons regarding working in the organisation.

work remotely, barely see teammates

Parking in Plaza Sentral and Menara Maxis offices is a nightmare. Lots of bureaucracy, paperwork and procedures that don't make sense - some Implementers just follow 'because it's the process'. No corporate values.

Not much learning scope for juniors not much work life balance

Salary is not competitive, but other benefits are ok

very busy, alot work to do

Not many amenities on site

- Long and sometimes meaningless working hours (midnight is ok) - Vague company direction - Valuing vendors more than employees, would rather spend big on vendors than building a capable team - Below average market compensation, annual review rate (surprisingly for a company of this size) - Little career advancement when you don't have long working experience - Sluggish pace, moves slow in this tech-driven era - Demotivating company culture, expects "No broke don't fix it" and "I will only do enough for my own jobs"

Lack of work life balance in the technical team.

Some more perks should be included

Office politics No worklife balance in Enterprise HR Support is needed, too slow decision making affect the staffs Non-stop ad hock task with critical timelines Back to back meeting

Teams are understaffed resulting in poor worklife balance

No cons I have seen so far

-The title and the job description that are posted are often not really the representation of the real job

Need some improvements in existing process interns of better access to process tools and visibility

Monotonous and repetitive work sometimes

- Work can be repetitive, not growth-aimed, more doing than learning (depends on position) - Overtime expected closer to deadlines - Some system disorganization, docs missing

Do not have any cons

Compensation is usually below industry rates. It's common to constantly lose the best people on your team to other companies. Promotions can be pretty slow.

No work life balance in most of the teams

Pre-COVID, the Markham campus had issues with the quantity of available parking spaces especially during the winter where everyone tries to park in the underground parking. Depending on the team you are on, late nights and weekend work may be required more often than expected.

You'll Understand a Product Inside and Out

Lack of direction / objective of no way what they going to do Lack of transparency Thing is just delaying everyone tend to drag which no one care Politic atmosphere

good technology , good salary, good work

Toxic Leaders in power. Worst experience of my entire career. Underpaid and over worked.

No innovative ideas to work. Same old tasks assigned for freshers to a any senior at all level including management .nothing more to say about.

organisation hierarchy can be confusing, result in inefficient job

few manager don't like North Indian so they will give very less hike and bonus to them.

-> Salary is averagely on the lowerside for the industry -> There's less vacation holidays and sick days compared to other compaines.

Long hours, lack of direction, siloed, no work/life balance

Maxis culture had changed from what it was in the past. In the past it had a very good people oriented culture but around the time I left it had changed drastically. Very low morale among staff No career progression - many people stagnant at the same level even when they performed well. No promotions in many years. No work life balance Heavy work load resulting in late days. Very stretched unrealistic targets.

Salary less when compared to Other teams

Doesn't always use most up to date best practices for SWE

Low pay Bad work life balance Some office politics

Low pay and bad benefits

1. It's basically a hardware culture and software is something they've not really prioritized (hence the freaking out about the comments in SemiAnalysis taking them to task for the state of their software stack). This shows in many ways. If you're hoping to do some interesting development than choose your team carefully because a lot of what AMD does is basically take NVIDIA open source code, translate it to HIP, fix all the bugs, make it play nice with their compiler, and then release it. Since you're behind NVIDIA at that point then you have to start the process all over. There's no internal plan or push to get out of that cycle. Hence there's no strategic software plan other than 'copy NVIDIA'. You'll end up working on a lot of skills other than software development. Look at what the team is working on and if it seems like it's an NVIDIA clone operation, consider carefully. This can also lead to versioning conflicts. 2. Because of #1, the leadership up through senior director level is pretty lame. You can ask many times about strategic plans but you'll never get an answer. You can ask 'when do we get to do something creative and visionary?' and you'll get 'we hope to do that some day soon'. 3. Because they're still a hardware company and rabidly protective of anything IP related (fair for a h/w company), even if you're working on open source software, they'll still lock down everything behind firewalls and such making setting up a lot of stuff...challenging...especially when they keep changing things. 4. Because they haven't quite grasped that they need to be a software company, they're still grappling with the need to have resources available to developers for testing, CD/CI, etc. They're getting somewhat better but they're still way behind the curve of where they need to get the most productivity out of their engineers. 5. It's literally impossible for you to get 100% of your specified bonus even if you hit 100% of your metrics and the company does as well. You'll probably end up getting 70-75% at best. 6. Trying to move laterally in the company is nearly impossible. You can apply internally for a job, which should be easy, and it will likely sit there for six months or more and nothing will happen unless you start bothering people.

Hard to get promoted right away

Low pay; Low perks and benefits

Not a great Salary compared to peers in the same domain Not many perks/benefits High Attrition

very stressful unrealistic sales target

There wasn't any downsides to working here

I think pay could be better

Big company with a good number of people just interested in doing the minimum required
