Pros

- I get to work with competent people - Great benefits like premium health insurance, discounts etc. - It's always happening stuff at the office, social events, artists coming to play etc. - Free food and beverage (not the cheap stuff either) - Company is expanding very fast which is exciting to take part of - Access to a professional studio with tons of instrument inside and the list can go on.

Cons

The office I work in is located quite far away from where I live so the commute is quite long.

Pros

NYC. Culture is pretty good. The engineers are all pretty bright and love music and that their job is related to music. Food and snacks are free. There is a gaming room

Cons

Pay. While not bad, it's considerably smaller than in the bay companies. Other than that, there aren't that many cons
