Pros

They aren't clock watchers. Starkey allowed for flexible hours if I came in later in the morning I stayed later in the evening. If I came in earlier I left earlier. For my role they wanted to make sure I was available to engineers as needed but it was a very relaxed atmosphere. There were times when it was definitely "all hands on deck" and OT was allowed but it was never forced on me. They trained me and taught me everything I needed to know to do my job. I loved working here.

Cons

None that I can really think of.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, good work culture and colleagues, interesting technical work, great engineering equipment. The company/management has always been super accommodating. Good rapport with manager and project lead. Work at an IC level is definitely recognized more than most other companies I have worked for, especially when one is motivated and takes initiative. Company is also very fiscally disciplined and maintains strict budgets. This is definitely the best job I’ve had in the last 10 years.

Cons

Work may feel unstructured sometimes but not uncommon with R&D roles
