Pros

great people below ecec level cool technology

Cons

Sr execs only care about bonus, and are unethical to get them. Only interested in moving jobs overseas. They tout technology, and don't care that all they get is faint copies now - - absolutely no innovation.

Pros

For audio and music professionals, working at the home of JBL is in itself a thrill. The company is large and has all the functional areas you would expect, resource rich environment. There remain some stars of the industry that really are passionate about speaker, electronics design. A lot of great people.

Cons

The company is run by finance and operations. While the group I was with got there by acquisition, we were surprised by several operational/directional decisions from HQ that there was no heads up on and to this day made little sense. The interworking of divisions and communication is not great. Can not comment on the Samsung acquisition as no longer work there. HR was not employee centric.

Pros

Richardson, TX location has a great atmosphere and good people working there for now.

Cons

Massive layoffs just occurred, and there seems to be no direction provided from the management team. Seems as if the Sales Management team doesn't communicate with the Engineering Management team resulting in continuing lack of clear direction.
