Pros

Like most of the reviews, THX is a great place to learn. Most co-workers are nice. Its amazing how such a small team of talented people are still very passionate about the legacy of THX. THX is also in a great location.

Cons

Lots of people come and go, some have stayed on the boat. There hasn't been any consistent leadership/direction and it feels like we're scattering with no budget to do anything. Some have been overworked/underpaid and still continue to work because they believe in the brand.. We used to get catered lunch once a week but not anymore which was nice. You'll be lucky enough to find some fruit in the kitchen if no ones taken it.

Pros

There were some very bright people at THX who were very knowledgable about their particular area of expertise.

Cons

There is absolutely no direction from the top. They would send you off to complete a project, then ignore it when you were finished. They would commit resources to initiatives, then cancel them as soon as you started to make headway. They would engage in discussions for strategic partnerships, then walk away from the table with no warning. Life at THX was nothing more than vacillating from one time suck to the next with no purpose or direction.

Pros

The THX brand is iconic and there are a lot of really good people working in engineering and other departments, below the management ranks. The company has partnerships with some of the biggest names in technology and entertainment.

Cons

THX has no solid leadership, and is currently managed by an "Executive Committee" of VPs who micromanage every aspect of the business. In the past few years, the company leadership (General Manager or President) position has changed 5 times. Accountability at the management level is non-existent. In fact, managers who have led failing product initiatives are often promoted, while some of the hardest workers are overlooked. For a company with less than 70 employees, the internal politics are toxic. And THX's reputation within the cinema and electronics worlds are tainted.
