Pros

Shure is a great company that is very loyal to its employees. Most people there work to live, so it's not hard to balance a busy life. There are a lot of smart people working on neat products. You get the chance to work on products seen and heard by millions of people.

Cons

The company culture is very conservative and slow moving, so they tend to follow competitors in many areas. Because the brand is popular, they can pay people slightly below average. The upper level executives seem out of touch with the engineers, even though they are excited about the products. Promotions happen fairly slowly unless you have a close connection to someone higher up the chain.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work-life balance; depends on the team, but typically you are able to take time off here and there flexibly as long as you get job done - Great, talented, friendly coworkers - Great benefits - 401k, profit-sharing, accumulated PTO, health insurance, etc. without flashy 'perks' - People stay there 10, 20, 30 years for a reason and it feels like family

Cons

- Slow pace partly due to legacy processes, partly to indecision from upper management - Due to above, many talented people get frustrated and leave. If you are the type that wants to constantly learn and be mentally stimulated, then this might not be the place since after a while, things just become routine; very resistant to change - Many people in management roles that look at the leaves on the branches, not even individual trees in the forest. Projects get caught up in details early that lead to much inertia - Things are changing with new D&I efforts, but still very much a white-old-dudes' culture, especially in mid to upper management (sub-executive suite) - No clear direction to advancement - seems more like promotions are based on how long you've been working there rather than merits

Growing pains, unnecessary growth, low salaries

Business Outlook

Pros

Work schedule is pretty flexible for some departments.

Cons

The company goes out of its way to pay just average salaries and you get a minimum pay increase every year no matter how hard you bust your butt. Bonuses are not available to everyone and are secretive. No room for growth in certain departments, most opportunities are based on who you know. Company has lost focus on core products in favor of unsustainable growth in new markets. Setting sales and profit records year after year, yet not everyone is reaping the benefits.
