Pros
- Interesting product especially if you're into music. - Diverse workplace so you get to meet people from many different backgrounds. - Smart and supportive colleagues who don't hesitate to help you. No micromanagement. - Good work-life balance but this started to decline from second half of 2025. - Remote work possible.
Cons
- In late 2025 there was a sneaky layoff conducted under the guise of "performance issues". People were told they were "underperforming" even though they had been at the company for many years without prior issues. They were then told/forced to resign by the end of the day. If not followed they were threatened with a bad reference for future employment checks. Obviously management is free to let people go as they wish but it should've been done in a more truthful and humane manner. It turned out that the real reason for the layoff was because leadership wanted to "set an example" by getting rid of some people, as they then opened new roles to replace those who were let go. - The company has started to outsource whole departments from HQ. - Product has the ultimate say in terms of what is prioritized on the roadmap. Not necessarily a bad thing but this might be jarring if you are coming from a company with a stronger engineering culture. - The compensation package is average for the industry. The health insurance offered is quite basic as well. - Annual leave is quite low for a tech company, only 15 days. - Very sterile office atmosphere for a music company.
