Лучший ответ сотрудника
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.

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.

This varies in each department, but you can expect to spend at least a half day going through the process, sometimes more.

Current devs are very supportive, though our technical onboarding process is underdeveloped (the standard "read all this documentation" approach).
