Pros

Sound United was a good company to work for. Great group of people. Masimo took over and things went downhill from there.

Cons

The Masimo acquisition of Sound United changed things for the worst. The CEO is obsessed with taking down Apple, claiming they stole technology from his watch. Millions of dollars in legal fees are going down the drain towards a battle he is never going to win. Suing Apple isn't a marketing strategy to sell your own product. None of his followers have the nerve to tell him. Business has gone down and there is no end in sight. Sound United employees are tired, burnt out, and depressed. Layoffs in August cut 250 employees after the CEO promised 2 weeks before that he did not believe in layoffs. No raises, bonuses cut. Those of us left behind have picked up the workloads of those let go. Executive level promotions given out to the most unqualified of candidates. 5 days a week in the office, 8-5 if you live within 45 miles, unless you are on the unofficial list of people who do whatever they want. If not, HR walks around and checks. It a shame that Joe Kiani ruined such a good thing.

Pros

Danaher came in and this new ceo will be better than the last one. Innovative devices that make a real difference in clinical environments. Talented, dedicated engineers and individual contributors who are passionate about quality and results. Competitive benefits and resources supporting the technical work.

Cons

senior leadership appear disconnected from actual operations. They often seem to know little about the day-to-day realities and contribute minimal practical value, leading to poor decisions, bottlenecks, and wasted effort for the teams doing the real work. Increasing bureaucracy and top-heavy structure that slows down progress despite the strong capabilities of the people on the ground. A noticeable gap between executive influence and actual impact, which is frustrating even as a newcomer observing it. Key talent and legacy know-how are leaving at a concerning rate, which makes newcomers like me nervous about the company’s long-term knowledge retention and stability. Gossip is rampant, further eroding trust and team cohesion.
