Pros

Does AMAZING philanthropy work (Starkey Foundation, Starkey Cares) 20 days PTO on Jan 1 each year (prorated based on when you start in any other month), goes up to 25 after 3 years of being there AMAZING insurance and benefits 401k matched each paycheck headquarters just redone in 2022 onsite cafeteria, decent meal for $6 (used to be $5) coworkers are all super nice everyone was willing to help with any questions

Cons

Retail team is always the first to take a hit in layoffs or furloughs ... I was furloughed after 3 months with no call back date, I don't think they will bring anyone back No communications between different departments, you are in your own bubble Over onboarding, didn't use tools I was introduced to Very quiet about updates Starkey seems to be very top heavy, they have a lot of "higher up" people with big salaries, not enough people doing the actual work where I was at
