Pros

Nothing good, not worthy company

Cons

1. The owner does not trust anyone inside finance. He only believe those who are close to him but does not know anything in finance. 2. Accountants for him were only counting beans. 3. He will promise you everything but will not do it. Example Health Care and the benefit of Working from Home. He will allow you to work from home but will tell you that you are not allowed to do it again. 4. Belittle those employees in administration and finance. 5. Will use salary to make you say yes but will use it against you when you do not follow them. 6. Only have short-term or band-aid solutions for problems. 7. Finance and Admin people only stay no longer than 7 months.

Pros

1. The idea of Splice as a product is romantic and sounds amazing. 2. There are some innovative tech advancements happening in a (siloed) part of the company which seem interesting 3. It’s “nice” to be surrounded mostly by people who are passionate about music. 4. The company values are continuously part of everyday conversations.

Cons

1. There has been no market fit and no overarching business strategy for years, and this results in frequent pivots, mismatched goals across areas, and an inability to plan ahead, which constantly bites you in the a. 2. Leadership do not practice transparency and even go so far as to mislead their people. They would not discuss concerns until it was practically too late and mass layoffs were afoot. 3. Tons of favoritism from leadership. You can see where connections trump experience in which opportunities are given to whom. 4. Severely understaffed product department leading to PMs being spread way too thin and unable to dedicate attention to anything. 5. Leadership will literally change your reports without telling you (as an EM) or your teams 6. Lip service given to DEI while sexism still prevails; ideas may be floated by non men and only listened to or given credence when proposed by men. Red flag after red flag after red flag. If you talk to people there before joining, you will probably realize that working there is a mistake. When I joined I told a colleague that I knew someone who worked there previously. Their response: “and you still decided to join?” I guess it seemed like a joke at the time but the truth is that if you care about quality of life, having any degree of focus or purpose, or having any possibility for growth in your job, avoid splice like the plague.
