Kontras
There is a strange mindset amongst IT leadership where your inputs, opinions and previous work experience is treated more as an affront to their existing archaic processes. Never mind if you bring tried and true methods and best practices learned from past roles, these methods will be cut down along with your confidence and self esteem. There is a reason turnover is high amongst those who aren't part of the upper ranks, its so that those employees can keep whatever is left of their mental health intact and not live in a constant state of anxiety. If you are interviewing at Shure, make sure its not for a position in the IT division. The rest of the company seems relatively happy (based on perception and the number of 'lifers' that seem to be around). I would rank Shure: 'outside of IT' a 4 out of 5 stars 'inside of IT' ZERO out of 5 stars. Just don't do it.
