This list is far too long to list all of it here. I have never been more stressed and mentally unwell than my time spent at Maxim/ADI. What others have said about management and “all talk” is completely true. There is a LOT of finger pointing. The culture at the Beaverton office is so toxic it’s repulsive. I felt like I was in middle school all over again. Additionally, this company has next to zero plans in place for onboarding and proper training of new hires. I basically freelanced my entire time with the company. When mentioning how unsettled this made me feel to my then boss, I was constantly told one thing, and then other things would happen. “Block out your calendar; protect your time from people stealing it from you”. “Oh I also need you do these other 19 things” (some of which had more immediate due dates). <— This was another large issue. They gave me, the new hire, the work of at least 3 qualified engineers…and then didn’t training me in the slightest on how to do any of it. Not even hardly taught me how to use their (garbage) document control system.
Watched them fire many qualified people during my time here too. Ironically, their main form of training they did have for me was “go follow the qualified people around”. If you fire them all, then what boss? Smart.
If you are considering taking this job at Maxim/ADI. Listen to me. You run far, and fast from this place. Go work at starbucks before you ever look in the direction of this place.
I wish I left sooner.
