Best job that I ever had

Engineering director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The best and brightest people who I've ever worked with. The corporate culture encouraged everyone to reach their highest potential through constant collaboration and self determination.

Cons

Failure of executive leadership has been publicly evident and obvious. The new CEO and continuing reorganizational efforts are attempting to turn the ship around. Time will tell if they will be successful but, sadly, the company is not the Sonos that I used to know.

Very political and clanish

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology Great benefits Smart people

Cons

Very clanish - if you are not one of the oldies, you can never make it here Very political - managers are terrible politicians and given the constant set of layoffs, it feels like they are constantly doing backroom deals to keep people they like vs the people who matter. This stems from a culture set from the top.
