Maxim Integrated Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Maxim Integrated full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Individual business units run like small start-ups. They could be organized and operate differently depending on the needs of the business unit, or the person in charge. CEO Tunc has done a good job in transforming the company's image and operational efficiency.

Cons – Salaries slightly below industry average.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Maxim Integrated full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Good positive environment and of course depends on which BU/team you work for. Good compensation and benefits, generally superior to most other semi companies out there.

Cons – Sometimes it was tough to maintain work life balance but was manageable. Not that many cons, now that they have newer and much nicer office building.

Current Employee – been working at Maxim Integrated full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Interesting work with large number of customers. Great coworkers. Decent lab equipment.

Cons – Understaffed, we are absolutely unable to adequately support our customers. Our competition will destroy us if they can provide better support.

Advice to Senior Management – In understaffed areas you will see heavy attrition once the job market improves, and this will create avalanche effects before you are able to staff back up.

Has decent health insurance
Individual departments run themselves, so it's possible you can get an awesome manager and have a great working experience at Maxim.

Individual departments run themselves, there are no company-wide ethics to support you.
The poorest "severance" packages I've ever seen, if you're lucky to even get one.
