Always afraid of layoffs

Pros

They talk about diversity and inclusion. Pay rate is good. Employees are great people. The product is great!

Cons

Management is awful. I went through almost a layoff every year. And even more reorganizations. They are slowly taking away perks. Diversity and inclusion is all lip service. They let go a bunch of females / minorities in layoffs. Work life balance has gotten awful since the start of 2023. Company is struggling to connect with employees since going remote.

Great product, poor leadership and on boarding, unclear expectations

Business Outlook

Pros

Sonos is a great product and brand. It has the cool factor and attracts dynamic, highly intelligent employees and offers excellent benefits

Cons

HR was not supportive. After getting a negative evaluation I spoke to HR and it was clear they were not on my side. Lack of clear leadership. Our department had no leadership or clear processes which led to lots of finger pointing, gossiping and inefficiency. Lack of work / life balance. This job took over and it was more often that not that I worked 60+ hours a week. They purposefully avoid specifying work hours so they can push people to the limit
