Pros
1. There are quarterly events and a killer Christmas party. 2. Cool to say you work in the music industry. 3. Most of the folks are cool. 4. Casual dress environment. 5. Labels are doing well.
Cons
1. The IT department has had 6 CIOs in the past 4 years, there is a reason for this and that is because the CEO does not want to spend money on improving systems nor the infrastructure. This has lead to a +35% reduction in head count. It is truly a skeleton crew left is that stressed and have very low morale and they have seen their colleagues be let go. 2. Throughout the entire company there are minimal opportunities to move up, promotions are scarce. 3. Poor work life balance in IT, the other departments seem to be much better though. 4. IT is heavily leveraging off-shore resources, coupled with low morale and new leadership that knows nothing about the music industry it is a bad place to work. 5. There is a clear delineation between IT and the other areas of the company, starting off with IT being 3 floors below the rest of the business and completely left alone where all the other WMG floors are connected by a beautiful lobby and staircase.
