Pros

Some talented and passionate coworkers who truly care about music and the community. The mission of Discogs is great. the platform itself has the potential to be a fantastic resource for collectors and sellers as a database and marketplace for many more years with the right attention and goals. Decent work-life balance (depending on your team). Remote-friendly work environment.

Cons

Extremely poor leadership and lack of transparency. Decision-making feels erratic, and leadership does not provide clear or consistent direction. Toxic workplace culture. Employees are afraid to voice concerns due to retaliation or being seen as a problem to leadership. No career growth. There is no real investment in employees, and feedback loops are nonexistent. Horrible handling of terminations. I was let go abruptly with no prior warnings, performance discussions, or opportunity to respond. Dishonest communication. The company email about my departure was misleading, making it seem like I voluntarily left. (This is routine way they communicate to the company when employees are let go or fired or differences.) Compensation is below industry averages. Salaries are not competitive for the level of work expected, and there is little room for meaningful raises or promotions.

Pros

- You get to think about music all day. - Fully remote.

Cons

- Pay is ridiculously low. - The catalog engineering team actively excludes women and minorities from important decisions. Then they ask women and minorities to do the dumb work they came up with while we weren't in the room. I ended up with a serious health issue from the stress of being mistreated at Discogs.
