Pros

Free food. A kichen area and small cafetaria where free lunch is catered daily. Some days good...same days so-so. Kichen has a reasonably stocked fridge. Central work location. Close to the highway and Beaverton/Portland.

Cons

The plans change frequently depending on the time of the day. Several managers constantly changing priority and providing conflicting work requests. Often this creates major confusion among team members and delays projects which ultimately is blamed on technicians and engineers. Some long-time (power-wielding employees) make decisions autocratically. Often times these decisions are surprising and dampen morale.

Pros

The engineering team is hands down the absolute best I've ever worked with. For a team of their size, they have managed to build some incredibly cutting edge technologies. The average employee has years and years of experience. They've managed to find their way into an increasingly large share of the top audio brands.

Cons

It's not for everyone, as one might guess from some of the reviews. The problems they're solving are challenging, and the standards are high.
