Pros

The people of Starkey are their biggest selling point. You do a lot of cross-functional projects which can give you some great exposure to other departments. Four weeks PTO a big plus. If you are entry level, you'll get good experience here. Opportunity to travel a few times a year.

Cons

If you are not "in" with the leadership team, you will not become a leader. Hard work is not recognized on an individual level, only company or department-wide. Long weekends many weeks out of the year. If you ask for suggestions, advice or input, show people that you listened by taking some of the suggestions, advice or input and put it into action.

Pros

Average tenure is high, Dave Fabry and Lisa Richards are great, and the market will continue to be healthy. They seem to promote from within and pay well.

Cons

Clap lines, immature leadership, stagnant policies and systems. The sales and marketing groups work some tough hours and the environment is formal. Sales people have it the roughest. Hours are long, compensation measures are weird, and the company doesn't really stick up for them over the customer. It's also a little cult-y. If you don't bleed Starkey you'll feel out of place.
