Apr 17, 2014 at 17:10 comment added Yassine Guerboussa @Jeremy Rickard: you are right, thank you.
Apr 17, 2014 at 12:46 comment added Jeremy Rickard @YassineGuerboussa: If the isomorphism between maximal subgroups of $N$ and $M$ is induced by an automorphism of $G$ then the quotients will be isomorphic. Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that there's an isomorphism not induced by an automorphism of $G$, but according to my amateurish Magma calculations this isn't the case for the free Burnside group of exponent four on two generators.
Apr 17, 2014 at 10:12 comment added Yassine Guerboussa Ok, I think in a finite $p$-group $G$ such that $Aut(G)$ induces the full linear group on $G/\Phi(G)$, all the maximal subgroups of $G$ are isomorphic. Any relativley free finite $p$-group have the property above. I don't know if one can choose two maximal subgroups $N$ and $M$ such that the isomorphism between $N$ and $M$ (induced by an automorphism of $G$) takes a $G$ invariant maximal subgroup of $N$ whose quotient has exponent $4$ to a subgroup of $M$ whose quotient has exponent $2$. Another thing, any free Burnside group of exponent 4 is finite (thanks to Sanov).

Apr 17, 2014 at 1:55 comment added verret I'm not sure I understand your example. Could you maybe be more explicit? (Keep in mind that I am only considering finite groups.)
Apr 16, 2014 at 19:06 comment added Yassine Guerboussa I wonder if a 2-generated 2-group with all maximal subgroups isomorphic, and a non elementary abelian abelianized do the claim. Did you checked the free Burnside group on 2-generators and exponent 4.
