Pros

Great products and an owner with an amazing vision.

Cons

-least amount of paid Holidays in metro area -sick time and PTO are the same. They lied in the offer -HR changes policies (example PTO accrual) and you can’t do anything about it -don’t dream of getting promoted unless you excel at managing up. Your performance won’t matter. -no employee development -massive turnover nobody will be up front about -you will not feel proud of the work you do

Pros

PTO is nice but hard to use based on manager.

Cons

You need to know someone to get promoted. Salary base pay is such a joke, "Market value". Way below industry average, I have no idea where HR gets their average from. The company is in cost savings mode - some benefit programs were cut, and few groups of people were laid off, without a notice. Executive turnover is frustrating - Benefits were redone and CHr left. Benefits are very sub-par.Except PTO Work life balance doesn't exist - CTO makes a lot of promises and dates do not change. Honestly it is embarrassing working for this company with all the recent news/ bad publicity. Look up Forbes article about Starkey Hearing Technologies. Owner is distant from company.

Pros

Very relaxed work environment. Able to be promoted internally.

Cons

Ruthless when it comes to cutting cost. They will cut headcount whenever possible, limit pay increase to under 3% for entire departments. They will promote employees but will not support them (just add more responsibilities for same pay).
