Pros

Rockstar engineers, some of the smartest people you'll ever come across. The design engineers I collaborated with want you to succeed and work very diligently and meticulously. Decent work-life balance, good cafeteria (HQ), great building and lab resources.

Cons

Middle management constantly trying to throw you off course to attend to matters that ultimately don't matter.

Sales and management do not care about quality - want you to deliver data to customers when the product isn't fully vetted or ready.

Poor alignment between Legacy MAXIM and Legacy ADI/LT folks.

Advice to Management

When there is a working system that is robust and trusted by our client/customers - why would you jeopardize it? Just so that you could sell more low quality parts? This helps to meet your quarterly goals in the short term but it is your engineers who pay for it when a part comes back not working.

Respect your engineers and trust their input. They are looking out for the customer's best interest more than you.
