Pros

I am not sure I can even think of one at this point. Maybe that the works council at least tries to protect us.

Cons

I don't know where to start. This company has become an absolute disaster since Francisco Partners got involved. It has been a constant rotating door of executives ever since. Including the last CEO and CPO resigning without even delivering the news to the company themselves like absolute cowards. After years of dangling salary benchmarking in front of us they finally did something, which was really truly nothing. They rolled out "Adjustments" which were really just what most people deserved in their annual review to make people not realize they cancelled the benchmarking process all together. The biggest joke now is the whole people organization who seems to lack a single competent individual amongst the bunch.

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.
