Pros

The Sonos System is a truly innovative product with the ability to be the center of your musical life throughout your house. There are a great many engineers with love and passion for the products produced by Sonos and a willingness to share and explain the products and why certain decisions were made throughout the evolution of the product lines, as well as where the Sonos line should be taken in the future. Because of the great products and engineering staff I would easily recommend seeking employment with Sonos, but perhaps not right now.

Cons

Mid-level managers up to certain directors are unable to provide meaningful guidance leaving individual groups to to function as part of the whole without proper tools, resources, access to information needed to complete tasks, or training opportunities. This could be such a world class company with a few changes and were those in place I couldn't recommend Sonos higher as great place to work.

Pros

Great culture. People are humble.

Cons

In some teams engineers have to find projects themselves instead of waiting for roadmap which is good also but sometimes frustrating.

Pros

Good work. Passionate people. Good product. Remote.

Cons

Some bad managers. They lost their footing resulting in lack of company vision. Struggled to find working styles that elevated the company (they wanted to grow yet operate like a start up)
