Pros

Not many to be honest. Music gear is cool I suppose

Cons

It’s a pretty rough environment. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really like the work. The executives seem completely lost and spend most time just hyping themselves up. They are out of touch from the business and needs of musicians
