Pros
Bluetooth is an exciting and transformational technology. The members and products being built with Bluetooth are and will continue to make a positive impact on the world, which makes the potential of working at Bluetooth SIG very enticing. The working groups are doing very interesting work that will change the IoT positively over the coming year. The benefits are decent including healthcare, 401k and vacation. There are a lot of very nice employees. There is a willingness among employees to reach beyond their typical job duties to ensure success across teams.
Cons
The leadership team is by far the worst I've worked for. There is no transparency and no trust given to employees in the organization. Silos are encouraged and outdated practices and tools are rampant across the entire organization. When tools don't work (both internal and external), there's a lot of finger pointing but no responsibility taken by management to provide budget and resources necessary to actually change things. everyone at the organization is doing the job of 2-3 people but no one is given the grace of realistic timelines or budgets. So no real impactful work is ever completed. People are running in different directions depending on the whim of the board. Saying no is never an option. There's a lot of strain between the working groups and sig staff. All of this leads to talented staff leaving to find a job where they'll be treated well and can put their talents to use. It also leaves behind the staff who has been around forever who perpetuate the same, outdated and ineffective practices. This place is a disaster. It's a real shame.
