Pros

will be good if you like music

Cons

From my perspective, management in engineering does not want to manage. They just want to be engineers. While this is fine in a small company, at the size of bandlab with many employees, the managers are actively hindering progress by not doing their job. If you need managers instead of ICs, please hire some actual managers or at least people who dont mind being a manager. Engineering excellence is not prioritized. Engineering excellence requires the whole engineering team to work together to build better, more resilient products. When requests were made to another team to make a feature easier to develop or to fix a bug that would make the product obviously better, the answer was almost always no and the answer was always to do 2-3x more work to work around stupid, unnecessary restrictions. HR does not help employees. While I worked at other companies and saw ineffective HR, this is the first time where I saw active disdain of employees by HR. Simple questions have to be checked up by the C suite and managers before they can be answered. Any request you make, they make you feel like you are asking for too much.
