Starkey Hearing Technologies Employee Reviews about "work environment"

Pros

Work environment, co-workers, company culture are all positive and rewarding. Challenged every day to think creatively, create meaningful content and deliver the best to customers

Cons

Work long hours including nights and weekends, company expectation that you will always work when needed regardless of personal life. Salary/compensation can be improved for the amount of work actually worked

Pros

It is relaxed work environment

Cons

not so much raise, not so much bonus

Pros

-Fast pace technology and nice working environment

Cons

-Nice place to work at no complaints

Advice to Management

None

Pros

Good work environment. Less hierarchy. Friendly coworkers. Good place to start your career. Less bureaucracy than other big companies. Gives importance to work life balance.

Cons

Did not find a lot of cons. Benefits & compensations offered are probably a little less than other companies.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Enjoyed working here. Try to maintain the employee satisfaction rate. Loved the humanitarian work carried on in different corners of the world.

Pros

Great work environment, quality group of people, excellent cause. Like every company, the stress level depends on your role and your boss, but overall it seems like a very relaxed place to work. They have a great tuition reimbursement program for your continued development, as well as many internal training programs.

Cons

The opportunities for advancement are not well defined, though the company is working on that. There are strong internal politics to navigate, since many people have been at the company for over 10 years.

Advice to Management

Work hard to ensure that good people have opportunities for advancement within the company, even if it means making new positions for them. This is the one major weakness Starkey has.

Pros

1. Good work-life balance 2. Comfortable working environment (I work at the Eden Prairie office)

Cons

1. A lot of meetings

Pros

It's project based, and one can think independently as well as seeking help from the co-workers. Laboratory and office together, interesting working environment.

Cons

Less communication between co-workers, everyone seems to do their own things. Less opportunity to meet with higher level management team.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are generally comparable to industry standards. There are some bright spots within the company -- individuals who lead/manage. Physical work environment is decent.

Cons

Very much an old boys club. And, the mentality is so ingrained that it resurfaces readily when difficulties arise. Contrary to what upper management would like to believe, employees are not the least bit satisfied, empowered or engaged in their work.

Advice to Management

(1) Change your culture. (2) There is a huge disconnect between the words we hear and the realities of our everyday work. (3) Stop micromanaging and start leading.
