A mistake to work for: modern slavery - Avis employé Engineering MaxLinear

Cheap company. Very poor culture. Mafia management. No respect for engineers. Cramp 4 people in cube to watch each other like KGB 12 hours a day is norm. Constant pressure. Everything is set up for 5-6 people in the executive management to benefit from (costs, extreme pressure etc.). The rest are wasting their time and life. There is a reason why MaxLinear is famous for bad culture, it's not hoax. But management knows this and does not care. They have this habit of cutting off full time employees as soon as their tasks are over. They don't warn you in advance. This is not a company with normal work ethics/culture. They smile and pretend to be nice to new job applicants, but be warned that does not last long. As others have said here, the majority of people working here have left, with new naive faces replacing them, only to figure out the same things few months later. This company needs a major change in culture.
