Pros

On a team level the vibes are great, and depending on the location the offices are a great place to work. Good work life balance on most days.

Cons

On a macro business level the company has gotten a lot more corporate and there has been a lack of empathy from most of the current board and new leadership hires. Berlin office is very corporate and has little in common with your typical music company. No development prospects in many departments, you really have to get lucky with your manager and how well they get along with the C-level, if you want to fast track your career. Budget very limited in some departments, until it suddenly isn't anymore and gets spent on a whim by department head.

A great training camp for those looking to break into the music industry

Cons

- Terrible pay ( I know multiple people who had to work jobs outside of BMG to make ends meet) - Cliquey employees - No one ever feels secure in their job placement - Constant lay-offs and reductions of staff - Virtually no more to grow - No systems in place for advancement - Far too many expectations to use A.I. in a creative field - They have no corporate values, mission statement, pillars, or real identity - They don't highlight exception employee work - Relies too heavily on cheap labor from other countries (some entire departments were laid off) - Constant change in leadership -No money invested in employees, the employee experience, or employee engagement - Non-existence onboarding and offboarding (no exit interviews, no help with benefits, etc) -Roaches in the building
