Some departments (e.g. software, firmware, systems, product management, project management, and audiology research) have reasonable gender diversity. Hardware engineering groups struggle in this department, some having no women while others have just a couple.

Marvelous! one word! 30 days in advance that can be used any time regardless of how much time you have spent in the company. Managers, based on your performance are very flexible on taking extra if you make up for it. Basically Starkey is the best I have seen from Human perspective. Truly a employee focused company.
