Pros

Many like-minded engineers and musicians working in the Audio divisions. You get to work on industry standard products that professionals and home recording hobbyists are using to make music. Excellent employee discount. Good work/life balance.

Cons

A lot of process imposed on the West Coast offices by the Burlington headquarters. Salary is ok, but not very competitive for the Silicon Valley.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
