Pros

I work with a fantastic tight-knit team of developers and testers to produce and maintain an application we call the "Suite". It is used on production floors worldwide to manufacture and repair hearing instruments. Our application is there at every step, from the time an order arrives until it goes out the door. Order entry, design, branding, programming, testing, trouble-shooting ... everywhere. The Suite is the center of the process, tying together a variety of systems, consuming and relaying information to make the experience as seamless, painless and efficient as possible. Technologies used: C#, ServiceStack, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, SQLite, ADO.NET, LINQ, HTML, XML, XSD, JSON, Visual Studio, Microsoft Team Foundation Server I love my job.

Cons

The culture of the software development team is supported at multiple levels of management going right up to the top. They are as flexible with you and your personal life as you are with them. If you put in extra time, they will repay the favor and vice versa. I, honestly, have nothing to complain about as I have been treated very well.

Pros

They really care about customers and employees. Great products and forward thinking. The company is world class and continues to lead the industry. Can be exciting to work there - Great work life balance - Smart people - Great team spirit - Great career potential

Cons

Starkey is a family run business and because of that, it can make decisions and changes must faster that larger companies. There are wide-reaching changes all the time. Can be exciting or confusing, on the other hand there are a lot of old-timers who avoid challenges and changes.
