Pros

Nice campus with average benefits

Cons

Starkey used to be all about 'innovation' and cutting-edge technology. This strategy served them well for many years as they rose from small midwest hearing aid company to global hearing health competitor. The company maintained a Technology R&D group that fostered this philosophy and kept Starkey's products on industry forefront in terms of features and footprint. This group had many exceptionally talented engineers and scientists. This has all eroded away over the last two years. The new President and upper executive management dismantled the Technology R&D group and have effectively replaced 'innovation' as primary core value with "cost cutting". They believe they can stay competitive by simply cutting R&D / operations costs. A sure sign of a death spiral.
