A great thing ruined - Anonymous employee MakeMusic Employee Review

Response from Gear Fisher, CEO: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'd like to continue a dialogue about the issues you're perceiving. I acknowledge that since the merger of Peaksware with MakeMusic in January, many employees are no longer with MakeMusic. However, many of those employees were offered positions and chose not to move from Minnesota to Colorado. This change was about focusing towards a specific future strategy and vision for the company. MakeMusic's philosophy aligns incredibly well with the foundation of Peaksware's overarching premise that the acquisition of new skills, whether in music, athletic endeavors, or other domains, have key elements in common, including getting answers to the questions: What do I need to do? Am I improving? and How do I compare with others? We are thrilled with the specific domain talent we have in the company, including a growing team of talented musicians to work on our strategy and our products. In January, we introduced a generous profit-sharing program where a percentage of the profits go directly to employees. We hold the belief that employees are what make this company successful, and deserve to share in the benefits and rewards of those endeavors. We go well beyond federal requirements for health care insurance plans and contributions, in addition to providing a $1,200/year Fitness Reimbursement. Organizational change is certainly challenging, and reactions commonly range from discomfort with the changes, to excitement and optimism about the new direction. In this process, we're open to feedback and constructive input. I would be glad to continue this conversation with the submitter offline - I encourage you to contact me directly at Gear@Peaksware.com or 970-988-2160 to do that.
