Pros

There really isn't anything positive that can be said. Well, you would have _a job_ that pays but nothing else really pops up for a positive call out.

Cons

The engineering organization was led by a PART-TIME Vice President Of Engineering during my employment. That situation seems to persist today. There is no focus, as a result, and the analog and digital silicon team has made numerous company-ending type of mistakes. The software and systems engineering team has been constantly playing catch-up to mask these errors and has proven to be dysfunctional. None of the 20-30 products from the company has been a home run, as a result over a period of 10 years. Instead all suffer from poor software/silicon/systems engineering. BEWARE: this is a stressed-out, low-morale, sub-par engineering team. Do not just go by resumes and leadership profiles showcased on the company profile.

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.
