Line 6 Reviews

Pros

Great work environment, lots of talented and creative people there; the senior management "bad apples" people were complaining about before have gone now; remaining senior management is strong and listens. Company has a family-run feel at times.

Cons

Morale is a little bruised from the last two years, due to challenging economic pressure and market turbulence.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it up. A breakthrough is coming soon.

Pros

Pay is ok and there still a few people that actually care. Some good products and technology to work on. They say it used to be a good place.

Cons

Maybe it was well run before but new management and people that came with them aren't capable. Maybe that's why Avid didn't want them. The good management is leaving or gone and the rest are spending our time looking for new jobs.

Pros

Pay if ok, but not great. The music vibe still somewhat there. Sometimes a celebrity comes in, but they ususally don't stay around. Great products for young kids starting in music.

Cons

Crappy insurance and benefits. Very politicaly driven senior leadership, and constant turn-around in all departments. The cool employees that built the company have left the building. Depressing vibe throughout. The company's peak has come and gone as most guitarist now slam Line 6 products.

Advice to Senior Management

Do as your past CFO did and move on (it's public info on LinkedIn). IMO Line 6 doesn't have the value that it did years ago. The IP is old news and no longer worth acquisition.

Pros

Daily involvement and focus on music and musical instruments. Friendly and politicaly correct employees. Highly decorated "show" building with cool jam room. Ok salaries.

Cons

Poor health plans. Poor bonus plan (with unreachable goals). Leadership is split. IMO the modeling technology is now considered old as many competitors are now doing the same modeling. Some with better features and lower price.

Advice to Senior Management

IMO Line 6 needs a CEO change. The company has already reorganized twice before, but never at the very top level. I believe a new CEO (and CFO) is needed to give the company a new breath of fresh air, and a new direction.

Pros

The involvement with music and musical instruments.

Cons

Bonus plan is poor. Constant reorganizations.

Advice to Senior Management

To BOD, replace the CEO, CFO, and HR Director.

Pros

Casual Environment, good salary and benefits

Cons

Turnover rate is extremely high.

Pros

great people, great environment, laid back most of the people very passionate and dedicated to their work and profession. Overall great work and life balance

Cons

some of the managment did not perform to the core values and culture of the company.

Advice to Senior Management

try finding management that fits the company's culture and values.
