Pros

I really liked the people I worked with; we had an amazing small team in New York and the team in Helsinki was friendly and talented. Real shame they completely dissolved an entire team in the NYC office out of the blue.

Cons

Unfortunately, there's no job security here. I read previous reviews about this issue from 2020 and assumed they were related to the pandemic; found out the hard way that it's just a fact of life at Yousician that you simply don't have the luxury of job security here if you work at the NYC office. I was enjoying my time working for Yousician until leadership suddenly decided to dissolve the *entire brand marketing team* rather than replace 3 employees who had recently moved on to other opportunities. We were told that the decision had nothing to do with our work, but that unfortunately budget cuts would have to affect headcount. I do have to say, at LEAST they provided us with a generous severance, but of course it's small consolation after being told you're not valued at a company.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us; we really appreciate it. We strive to create a work environment where all Yousicians (in both NY and Helsinki) and also former Yousicians feel valued. Therefore, we would like to express once again that we are deeply sorry that you are faced with this situation. Unfortunately, the structural changes in our organization were a business decision we had to make. We have put a great effort to support everyone in this process. If there is anything you would like to discuss further on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your contribution to Yousician so far and wishing you all the best in the future! -Yousician team

Pros

Very friendly and casual work environment. Would have loved to continue working there if the NYC office hadn't switched back to being fully remote.

Cons

Because the company is not based in the US and I was working part time, taxes were not taken out of my paycheck and I had to pay it all at once during tax season.
