Maxis Communications Employee Reviews & Ratings

Incompetent salary, and slow increment

Peak period workload is heavy

- Rarely feel the excitement working here - Executives feel far and distant and irrelevant to our day to day work (maybe this is a Pro?) - We feel we are irrelevant to the executives the same way. - Salary raise and bonus? Rarely happen. Good luck! They feel like a lottery rather than something we work hard for and achieve.

work life balance can be challenging at times

Strong cultural value, Great HR team

Stressful work environment that increases in tension with each and every layoff as workload increases and morale continues to decline. Dog eat dog corporate environment - competitive rather than collaborative, reactive rather than responsive.

Very unstable higher management and too many managers

timelines are tight for some projects

None that come to mind

Work life balance is not easily achieved

On the down side the company has struggled financialy the last couple years of years with a resulting drag on salaries & promotions.

Intense competition from big brother Intel will continuously make working at AMD unstable.

People who show steady results and growth over time are often ignored or let go. Company's financial situation often impacts employees: mandatory vacation, across the board pay cuts, benefit suspension, frequent staff reductions. This has stretched its workforce and greatly lowered morale. Highly bureaucratic.

The payment is below average.

Total compensation not as attractive as others

Other teams are heavily political some teams are incompetent

* Despite the fact they do have intelligent people, they don't really give them the space and opportunity to thrive * Everything needs to be finished yesterday, very unrealistic deadlines * Morale isn't that great, which can likely be attributed to the fact that they aren't doing so great these days

Too many management and roadmap changes

local management needs better training.

Some tech is extremely old

No complains nothing to say more

not much to add here done

Sometimes you might have to pull long shifts because everything tends to break down when the product is about to be released. Some of the teams tend to come in very late in the morning and work very very late. This makes it difficult to sometimes coordinate with teams and get your own work done especially if you are waiting on something from someone that stays late.

- extremely difficult to grow - very stressful , major layoffs are very common - outdated equipment - favoritism is part of the culture

lack of training and compensation

there are no specific cons as such. but to move into a different domain and work is little difficult in this firm.

None come to mind here.

Most of the valueable works are done in the US

poor system integration, small office in Hsinchu

low compensation for it's class of company

No formal training. A lot of churn pertaining to work assignments and employees. Limited documentation, most of the knowledge base manifests as tribal knowledge requiring you to hunt down the right people in order to fulfill inquiries related to the current project. Heavy workloads so most employees don't have the bandwidth to help answer questions. Limited resources means employees with the ability to work multiple roles and/or figure things out get over-worked while others are hyper-focused on singular tasks and narrow skill sets. Pay and compensation slightly below average for mid-level engineering/technical employees. Multiple job titles/columns ensures ample confusion when trying to compare pay/compensation rate to the national average. Slow to react to market trends. Cuts to R&D really hurt future growth potential and the ability to expand the product line. Advancement opportunities are very slow.

Can not think of any.

Lots of fire drills done just to make pretty pictures for executives, at the cost of value-added work. Poor management and financial commitments made without consulting those who will do the work are leading to unworkable projects that can't be fixed in the budget we have. They are also cutting benefits right and left, and not giving raises or bonuses like they used to. shrinking career opportunities, limited training.

Less salary and compensation in comparison

management is weak, i think.

Layoffs were always the first response to revenue decreases, and while there were far too few people to complete projects, more and more were approved and added, which burned out a lot of good people.

Not as far as I can think of

Layoffs, board of directors are looking to fill their pockets instead of looking for the best interests of the company. Top level leadership is severely lacking.

DGPU Market is going down.

Management is not really supportive and always try to excuse when mistakes are made by others. They also try to blame you for theirs mistakes. This depends greatly of the team you are in.

Bad Management, Mediocore products, poor marketing

Difficult to be promoted, get raises, transition into new roles

bureaucracy, bad management, pay is a bit low

The stock grant is not generous

Salary is not a top notch.

Nothing really, if you can do a bit of self management work is good. One can always keep complaining about money, but thats not what I particularly target.

They fire a lot of people each quarter

Fast pace if you are not used to working in tech.

There are many people who are just there to coast, which is understandable. They can feel like crabs in a bucket though

Disorganized teams, understaffed, bad quick and dirty solutions to things, not alot of innovation happening in the team I was working in. Poor relocation services
