MACOM Technology Solutions

The most 'stiff' organization I have worked in.  The culture is different from anything I've experienced, not really in a good  way but hard to describe.

You are rated in a 1-5 system on a normal/bell curve along with your immediate coworkers.  So, if you have an awesome team compared to the org and each perform exceptionally as an individual, well, you can't all be rated well come review time.  That alone is a setup for culture failure.   Employees perform relatively distinct functions - not apples-to-apples.

There are strings attached to benefits.  Employees who receive relocation are tied to a year or else repay.  They can grant you restricted stock, again vested.  They will help with school, but you have to get your manager's 'permission' to enroll.  Retirement match half UP TO total of 3% (with individual contribution of 6%).

Hiring team was not very willing to negotiate. I was not sure if I was being lied to and eventually concluded that I had probably been duped to some extent.  My advice is play hardball and expect to walk away until they give you what you want.

No strong indications that management really wanted to be involved in making the day-to-day better.  Lots of inefficiencies in that regard.

I am usually a strongly self-directed employee, once I know the overall goals.  I can fill in the blanks fairly well and ask when I need help.  All I really felt was that someone was always watching over my shoulder and breathing down my neck.  Ick.

The company has expanded much through buying out other companies.  Without integration discipline and a unified vision, there are various product lines completely disconnected from each other with regards to building space/equipment utilization.  A real mess.

A lot of the employees are pleasant.  The lunches are also good (catering company), but that may not be enough for everyone.

Let me start by saying that I actually do regret leaving here, quite a lot I might add. The twelve hour days were HARD and the mandatory weekend day was not amazing either, but the work itself is generally pretty easy and relaxing! You can listen to music throughout your day, you get very lengthy breaks and (assuming it's a work day) you can hop down to the cafeteria and get what I must admit is some very good food!

I should mention I only left because I got a better pay offer elsewhere at a company I couldn't stand. It was my own fault for leaving the way I did and I know that chances are I won't be able to get back in here, and that's a true shame.

I think management is a bit weak, as well as allocation of money. Certain production areas (chiefly CMP) really need more money but I know a lot of the money we had when I was working there had went to renovating offices for the engineers, which was very silly. They also NEED to step up their game with safety system audits. Testing chemical showers and leaving in-date calcium gluconate being chief examples of this.

Floating holidays are granted for each holiday as well as decent time off. Overall, a great place to work. I highly recommend! If you get in, congrats! I wish I could be there to congratulate you myself.

I joined the company as an IT Systems Engineer, but from day one, the onboarding process was extremely disorganized. 

Despite trying to contribute meaningfully (including drafting internal security documentation and tools), I was abruptly let go via a video call after just a few weeks. No prior discussion, performance feedback, or clear rationale was provided.

Attempts to follow up for clarification were met with vague responses and a lack of transparency. Additionally, after separation, the company did not submit standard employment documentation to the state in a timely manner, which caused delays in accessing post-employment resources.

This work place was like no other. It was small maybe 125 people from all walks of life. I learned to get along with all of them, enjoyed themany stories of their families and how they came to be where they are today. Hard working people overall, cared about their work and that it was done right, from assembley to accounting to janitotial. The hardest part of the job was leaving people that your used to seeing every day and missibg the time you spent with them a d the day to day challenges you face every day. I learned to work with all kinds of people and enjoyed it. From the Front Desk to the assembley to the back in shipping and receiving. I was glad to be par of that company.

Working as part of a team was fantastic!  We were able to learn from each other, solve problems together, had a solid camaraderie, and while we worked very hard, we also had a lot of fun.  The people, in general, at MACOM, are exceptional human beings - they smile a lot, converse with others, form bonds with those they work with regularly.

This particular location lacks any type of advancement in any field. It seems that %90 of the office isn't even occupied (LOTS of empty cubicles), and lots of lay-offs/people quitting since the acquisition of AMCC. Very big turn over rate, especially with engineers. There's also a bit of lack of fun at this particular site. It's all just about work and not much else so don't expect too much if you decide to work here, you probably won't get far career-wise since everything kinda just stays stagnant . Also management isn't very great here.

stressful days with little to no support from engineering and favoritism from some managers for their pet people.rules are not followed in wafer fab and nothing is done about the rule breakers.training is as quick as possible and constantly moving people around.Hard to get established in any area. Most cowokers are nice but the few bad eggs are allowed to cause trouble and generally not addressed. This causes bad morale! Shifts are long and tiring. Some do not have to work the 12 hour shifts which is unfair to all.

Where do I begin, I was laid off after 4 months with the company during my lunch break on a Friday after stressing all week completing task. The company is obsessed with pushing out as much wafers as possible with little regard for quality for safety of employees. Basic clean room standards were never met and constantly laid off employees for profit maximization. I do not recommend working for this company.

The only good part of the job was the pay and possible RSUs if they keep you long enough lol.

People that have been there for many years are a cancer who do not except new employees it is extremely cliquey.  They keep things from the new people they are training because they are insecure in there job even though they’ve been there 20+ years.  The thin films department is led by a woman who has know business working with other people, she is an angry, insecure, difficult and mean person.
