Pros

The 4 weeks pto is a plus Things we do for the foundation to help people in need are wonderful.

Cons

This company is basically Washington. Really, the family is constantly going to Washington to buy lobbyists and "slow down" the process of otc hearing aids. They actually send out mass emails advising us to call our legislatures on their behalf. It takes a lot of balls to attempt to move in on someone's belief systems. This is of course, for their bottom line. They like to pitch that it's not at the town meetings and say that it's for the good of the patient. However, I ask you starkey, if your analog hearing aids are good enough for people in third world countries, what do you have against people in the us. Using them. Exactly, DOLLARS. We need the people In the us. Who can "afford" digital to pay for digital, don't we? You should really be ashamed of yourselves. The company is all about "family", only you aren't a part of it. They are very focused on the step son, moving forward with the business despite his lack of credentials. Today, he was awarded an honor for making starkey a great place to work. Not sure what he did or how this was polled. I must have missed that memo. It's a very political place, I would stay away

Pros

Starkey is a company dedicated to serving it's patients and providing the world with better hearing. If they like you and you buy in to the culture, there are very good advancement opportunities.

Cons

It's a changing industry and it remains to be seen how well Starkey will evolve. The company is losing out on market share to giant competitors who have unlimited financial resources.
