Pros

Some nice and fun people to work with Good work/life balance Great location Relatively good benefits

Cons

Senior leadership creates an extremely toxic work environment at Bluetooth. They dictate an unreal amount of policies and procedures and require all product/project related decisions to go through the full senior leadership team. You have minimal creative freedom as everything is micromanaged and dictated by these core few people. Like to have your own opinion and some creative freedom? That's a direct ticket to being fired. I have never worked at a company that fires so many people, they operate like they think they are on the apprentice! All jokes aside, while I was working there, they had about a 20% turnover rate. They either fired people that didn't do exactly as they wanted, or people realized how bad it was and ran a mile in the opposite direction. If you are interviewing here I would highly recommend taking caution and asking about their history of turnover. Although when I was there, leaderships solution to put their employee's minds at ease was to just tell them that "there is not a problem".

Executive infighting has ruined the company.
