Pros

Great teammates and great mission

Cons

Everyone here is fed up. Every other day there is rumblings of someone quitting. I think we are on the verge of a mass exodus and leadership doesn’t care to change problems but maybe they will reply on Glassdoor since they want to fix their reputation so badly on here, rather than within the company. The only thing holding this company back from losing half our team is finding the next opportunity.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We went through an org restructure that impacted 11 roles, which you know wasn't communicated when this was posted the midnight prior to us being able to share with folks impacted and the rest of our organization. That's unfortunate. While it's never easy to make these decisions because we care about everyone impacted, we are responsible for making hard decisions. We took accountability and shared internally our reasons and also communicated what we are doing to support those impacted, which included, - Generous Severance Pay - PTO Payout for those eligible - Continued Healthcare Coverage for those eligible - Career support In our latest engagement survey concluded 2 weeks ago, 94% of the company agreed or strongly agreed to the commitment of the organization and 84% agree or strongly agree they fit and belong here as well as feel they have psychological safety. We have areas to improve, but are proud of our progress, additional investments we're making in talent, and the great team members we have that actively contribute and are committed to making BeatStars exceptional. We're looking forward to our new chapter.

Pros

BeatStars is a mission-driven company filled with smart, passionate people who actually care about creators and the music business. You’re trusted to take ownership, build real programs, and make an impact without being micromanaged. Leadership values initiative, transparency, and results, and if you’re motivated and aligned with the vision, you can do meaningful work that truly moves the needle.

Cons

It’s a fast-moving company, so priorities can shift and the pace isn’t for everyone. This environment rewards people who are adaptable and accountable, which can be challenging for those who prefer rigid structure or slower decision-making.

Cons

None at the moment, it's been great.
