Pros

Technologically advanced. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, you can progress rapidly at MaxLinear.

Cons

1. Long hours 2. Unreasonable word load 3. Meager Pay Management likes to say employees are valued individuals, but the reality is much different. 8 hours of hard work is not enough - try 11 or 12 minimum (including weekends). But hey, if you need a H1 visa, they'll hire you. Then again, if they can cut your pay or eliminate your position altogether, they will. Often asks its employees to choose between life and work. Lack of company direction. Benefits of working for a small company is that it reacts quickly to the market. Downside is that it often lacks a plan.
