Pros

Compensation is competitive. Get to work at home once a day.

Cons

Leadership is not realistic as to what goes on in offices. If you are not in the clique you won’t make it. No training for positions. Absolutely no support from upper management.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that your time at Sound did not reflect the level of support and connection we want every colleague to feel. We appreciate you noting the competitive compensation and hybrid flexibility. Your comments about training, leadership visibility, and feeling included are important, and we understand how these concerns can impact the day-to-day experience. Every colleague should have clear expectations, the right resources, and supportive guidance, and it is clear we did not meet that standard for you. We are actively working on stronger onboarding materials, more consistent leader development, and better communication across teams. Feedback like yours helps us learn where we need to continue improving. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective. We wish you the best in your future roles.
