Pros

Wonderful and creative people! Great reputation in the audio world. A San Francisco main-stay with all of the attributes that cause it to fit in well.

Cons

Current location is still scary. Give it ten years of gentrification and that should change. Experiencing all of the usual issues related to with a fast-growing business concern.

Pros

Smart coworkers, a friendly somewhat 70's feel work culture with a mix of long term (10+ years) and new employees, a modern, fresh, work environment in San Francisco, 9/80 work schedule, ability to contribute to important initiatives.

Cons

Culture of consensus and entitlement to opinions without data driven recommendations hobbles positive, aligned decision making. Lack of business discipline creates chaos. Lack of consistent application of accountability and responsibility allows costly bad behavior, and makes business discipline decisions appear whimsical or illogical.
