Pros

Great minds and passionate people who genuinely care about what they do.

Cons

After the significant layoff in 2020, the work culture never recovered and brought in more modern corporate entities, making work much more tedious and increasing the workload. I personally had to involve HR due to harassment from upper management twice in my career at Sonos.
