Pros

Splice is one of the few places where you can build cutting-edge technology and feel like you’re actually empowering a global creative community. I joined to help shape the future of music creation, and it’s been even more meaningful and rewarding than I expected. We’re building tools that help musicians stay creative, not replace them. The mission around creator empowerment is real, and it shows in our product strategy and ethical approach to innovation. As a product leader, I’ve had the autonomy to define strategy, coach and grow strong teams, and implement systems that scale. Leadership supports experimentation, encourages bold thinking, and genuinely wants teams to lead from the ground up. Collaboration between product, design, and engineering is a core part of how we work, not an afterthought.

Cons

The company is scaling fast, so you’ll need to be comfortable with ambiguity and change. If you’re looking for rigid processes or top-down direction, Splice might not be for you.

Pros

1. Decent pay and equity package. 2. Commitment to remote-first culture. 3. Generous HSA and retirement matching program. 4. Solid core product. 5. Working with genuinely passionate music fans. 6. Commitment to DEI

Cons

1. Splice takes a lot of pains to make itself out to be mission-driven, but it's run by the standard bunch of greedy capitalists you'd expect at any tech company. The entire leadership team is former Adobe, which should be enough of a warning. Expect capricious business decisions, frequent pivots, and the annual tradition of laying off employees right before the holidays in the interest of operational efficiency. 2. There seems to be a competition of who can be the most special, precious, smartest boy in the company, especially on the Engineering and Data teams. Expect lots of sneering and standoffishness from gatekeepers that are empowered to not get anything done. 3. Speaking of gatekeepers, there are lots of people who are empowered and encouraged to keep you from doing your job. 4. Limited career growth though few people are there long enough to effectively cultivate a career and move within the company. Few people are still with the company from before Kakul took over.
