Pros

Acoustic technology is very exciting and the applications are endless

Cons

The VP level management is not forward thinking and none of them have experience in the market they are selling to. They are not scientists and as such, don't know their market very well.

Pros

Pleasant work conditions, flexible hours, most co-workers are easy to work with. Compensation and benefits are probably better than average.

Cons

This is what happens when you take a bunch of bright, hard-working but extremely sheltered and over-protected academics and let them try to run a company. Severe dysfunction at all levels of management. Arrogance/narcissism of upper management, refusal to clearly communicate company goals and priorities, key personnel lack experience working elsewhere that would provide valuable insight on how a successful company is run. Standard practices and procedures (documentation, procedures, etc.) in place at most other tech firms in Silicon Valley are completely ignored here. Watch out if you're a senior researcher/engineer/tech with experience elsewhere because if you dare suggest approaches that have worked successfully elsewhere, you will be viewed as a threat and singled out harassment by high-profile but hyper-sensitive individuals who have never held a job anywhere else.
