Pros

If you like EDM music, it's your dream job.

Cons

It's just like the Wizard of Oz: an illusion behind the curtain. Major female executives are run out of the company, the men in charge have no idea how to manage or lead. I've seen a Dept Head scream at people but if he was a better leader he would have nothing to scream about. There is no HR, no structure, it's a wonder anything gets done in time. Apparently, anybody can have a Manager title. Definite cliques and if you aren't in, bye bye! Massive layoffs & no loyalty for people that bust their behinds.

Pros

Great variety of work, lots of responsibility handed to interns, fun workplace if you enjoy music festivals and events

Cons

Small legal team, with tons of work to be spread across only a few people. Not much room for growth within the company

Pros

- awesome environment, 80% of employees are young, cool, and love music - free VIP guest list to any shows (unless they are sold out, so probably not EDC) - if you love music/edm, don't mind occasionally working a lot, want to have a career in the music industry, and don't mind a slightly lower than average pay, then it is your dream job - if you make music, you will have so many opportunities to network you'll be overwhelmed so take advantage

Cons

- A bit unorganized - if you're on a team that has to attend the shows (stage management, production, some finance, etc.) it sounds cool at first, but you are traveling many weekends and you essentially are on-call for the entirety of the festival. cool at first but gets tiring - just because it's a party environment doesn't mean you can party on the job. maintain a professional disposition when you attend the festivals/shows for work and you'll be fine
