Maxim Integrated Products – “Tunc totally change the orientation of the company”

Pros

*Location
*Small company enviornment thus its a great place to start out
*Most management know their stuff

Cons

a very political company, buddy buddy system, without a friend on top your chance of promotion will be absolutely zero (regardless of your performance)

Advice to Senior Management

Most talented engineer from the original Maxim has left due to current management. New hires quality are extremely poor. Why can't you compensate base on perfromance rather than the baseball buddy system
