Pros

For a company this size, there still seems to be a bit of a family atmosphere that you wouldn't expect. It's full of super passionate people that enjoy what they do, work hard for the company and eachother, and take pride in outcomes. The general sense of "team" is impressive, although it seems to be disappearing.

Cons

The President, Randy Klein is probably the biggest issue this company has. He treats his employees like pawns in a board game for his entertainment. He mistreats people, is verbally abusive, pits VPs/Directors /Managers against each other for his own amusement, employs a form of "hazing" as management tactic for new people just to see what they will do, and regularly reminds people of how inept they are compared to him. If you can stomach the narcissism, sophomoric nonsense, and regularly being told that you "suck at your job", you should do just fine. In addition, there is the general chaos of systems. From Finance to HR, to Marketing to Engineering, the amount of "we just make it up as we go along" in the absence of industry standard processes is astounding. They do a great job of faking it to the rest of the world, but be prepared to be shocked by the amount of standard operational functions that are just "cobbled together in the garage".

Pros

Relaxed. Management understands traditional AV industry is saturated and is trying hard to pivot the company into new direction. Whether it will work or not is to be seen.

Cons

This place really needs to re-evaluate how they hire and retain engineers. Across all disciplines, there are many senior level engineers who have no idea what they are doing. Some lack such basic engineering skills and knowledge which makes one wonder if they had proper higher level education or lied about their past career experiences on their resume. Most of them are genuinely nice people, but they are really dragging down productivity.
