Shure Reviews

Pros

I don't recognize the company described by VP's and management types on this site. But as a worker in the trenches, maybe I'm just isolated from anything that happens in the upper echelon. I practically never run into the owner.

Friendly, competent people
Good work/life balance
Management is very thoughtful of employees (even the CEO is very approachable)
Some projects are managed very competently

Cons

Some projects are managed with a counterproductive focus on the short term or with unclear leadership. Occasionally schedules are mandated by management without regard to technical considerations.

Pros

Cool building, cool industry, some of the best co-workers you will find. Global companny with strong brand recognition in its industry.

Cons

Weak leader at the top, "old guard" not open to new people and new ways of doing business. High turnover in top management.

Pros

Shure is a fun place to work making innovative wireless products. Friendly hard working employees . If you are a musician its a good place to work.

Need to pay competitive salaries. Pays below average than other companies with similar financial standings. Need a better vacation package.
