Pros

Basic benefits and salary but not much else other than relying on the enthusiasm of young, naive artists feeling privileged to be a part of the brand

Cons

In my personal experience, toxic company culture that fostered: - Buddy system/favoritism (leading to set-up-to-fail confirmation bias) - Poor boundaries and their breakdown over time - Work/life boundaries seen as lack of commitment or discontentment - Disempowering systems, dysfunction, and confusion as norm - Burnout, constantly ill employees - Toxic positivity, passive aggression, dishonest and passive communication - Healthy, direct communication perceived as offensive, hurtful, or problematic - Discrimination on multiple levels (I ignored the many racism/sexism claims online only to find out how pervasive they are) - Performative activism that doesn't support true inclusion - Fixed mindset that resists meaningful growth

Native Instruments Response
