Pros

• Cool industry & product set. Many folks do care but....

Cons

• Yes, they recently laid off a lot of people (very poorly done I might add), but here's the main rub: From a business perspective, this is a 22 year old consumer electronics company that tried to pivot into cloud-based platform & digital services and 'widen the funnel' of their customer base (HUGE RED FLAGS ). • Company has run out of steam • Reactive, frantic, and scared leadership

Native Instruments Response

Thank you for your note, we appreciate the humor of your title but take seriously your feedback. We understand that the decisions taken around our business strategy in the last year caused ups and downs for the LA office. While uncomfortable, we believe this refocus will put the amazing talent we have pointed in the best direction for Native and our products.

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.
