A disappointing experience I'm glad I had - Anonymous employee Native Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Modern offices with some nice perks like free beer on Fridays and good coffee, etc. A lot of the people I worked with on a daily basis were very friendly and it's great to be surrounded by people who really love music.

Cons

The whole time I was working there, the teams I worked with didn't release anything innovative or particularly exciting. This is because upper management were micro managing our backlog and forcing us to build whatever feature they had dreamt up that morning, a feature that had no connection what so ever to anything our users were asking for. By being completely out of touch with the entire actual user base, they managed to squander the largest amount of capital that had ever been invested into the music tech industry, and have absolutely nothing to show for it.

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.
