Shure reviews

People are promoted simply by who likes them in senior management. Competence is not considered. There is considerable pressure to "dumb-down" your knowledge because senior management may be intimidated by excellence. Don't join this company if you have an MBA or have worked for a professional, competent organization. You will climb the walls. The company has a very poor track record in retaining employees. Highly competent people are regularly fired because of politics. There is much employee turnover. The future of the company after the current owner (a very old woman with no prior business experience - she inherited the company) is very uncertain despite management's assurances to the contrary. BEWARE - the company has the reputation of eavesdropping on employee phone calls and monitoring emails to determine if anyone is saying anything negative about the owner.

Unclear roles and responsibilities. Private company that is very protective of information, even within the walls of the company. Lacking clarification for internal movement and development. Inter-departmental communication and team work are challenging. Large company that still thinks of itself as a small company. #1 company in the industry, but probably not for long, as the company has been resting on it's laurels for awhile now.
