Maxis Communications

Low pay. Crammed office space.

Not much of career advancement for technicians.

Fast-paced, long hours, and stressful

Too much executive turnover & too much focus on cutting & the qtrly earnings each qtr.

Poor leadership - top down. Bad idea to bring positive change through negative energy (hate Intel only gets you that much and once that's out, there no fire in the belly)

Lot of legacy environments. Slow work pace.

poor management, need to make money, should be more agile, need a vision

Things are very slow. Some teams are not ready to change and use old Verification and design practices

The process can be overbearing for the size company that it is, but it works and management tends to be flexible.

Workload is extremely heavy. Constant deadlines to be met. Difficult to learn new skills outside of normal activities due to heavy workload. Career advancement is difficult and must wait years if desired.
