Pros

- The people...a lot of great people work there! - On-campus cafeteria - Good benefits - Well-planned events - Awesome creative design team

Cons

- Lack of leadership with expertise; people in leadership positions are often promoted based on tenure, not proven experience - Horrible work/life balance. Work keeps piling on and employees get easily burnt out - Very Hierarchical; providing feedback that doesn't align with leadership is NOT welcomed - Trying to run before they can walk with product development, and not addressing manufacturing & product issues. No amount of marketing or customer service can fix the problem if the product isn't working. They seem to have the right people in place, but unrealistic expectations about how quickly they can go to market with new products - A lot of egos at the top

Drink from the fire hose

Pros

- The people you work with are awesome people who work hard and care immensely about their work. - PTO and 401k are competitive

Cons

While you will never be bored from a lack of work, you will also scatter to learn things on your own. This is a company with little training for new hires. Heck, you're lucky to have your computer on your first day! If you manage to stay on board you will quickly learn many things: 1) You will learn how to do your job and increase your skills in your particular career path. But you'll do it from a fire hose that will eventually break you causing you to leave as advancing in your career and salary with this company is unlikely. 2) Stay long enough and you will continue to see just how many times a new piece of technology is labeled "a new era in hearing innovation." It begins to feel like Groundhog's Day. 3) They are trying to be more flexible, but the writing on the wall is that "old habits die hard." Pre-pandemic, the company was very rigid on flexibility. Work from home was a term needed to be kept quiet. 4) Direction as a whole changes multiple times a year.
