Pros

Awesome colleagues that are deeply passionate about music and technology. It feels like a big family of likeminded people. Great working place (coffee, etc.). There used to be great parties in the past. Even though there are many problems recently it's at least still a great place to start a career and learn a broad spectrum of things but then move on. It's possible to change and move things if you want but you need a lot of resilience.

Cons

Total lack of empathy in management layers. There are a few that care but the majority are politicians that just want to keep their position. Some hard decisions are right but the way they are executed is extremely unprofessional. Many decisions are pure random. One day like this next day the other way around. There has been no innovation for many years. Many people have great ideas. But there is no interest in them. Management does not understand that technical depts needs to be paid off one day. They just make more and more of it. Feature creep over good quality. There seems to be some change but let's see if it really happens. There were many false promises in the past.

Pros

Super cool environment and amazing products that are easy to sell, cause who doesn't love music!

Cons

A lot of miscommunication and groupthink can make marketing projects spiral when they could have been more efficient by just meeting sooner.
