Awesome company, culture, people. Heaps of work, pay can leave a bit to be desired relative to work. Symptom of being an agency in an industry struggling for cash.

Being an agency in an industry struggling for cash. Team are doing what they can to mitigate issues caused.

Pros

• Work on some big and interesting projects • Encouraged to try out new technologies • Staff are encouraged to explore areas they are interested in rather than forced staff to align with existing business interests • Fun environment to work in • Strong focus on hiring staff that fit the culture • Staff Monday lunches + weekly beers • Flexible working hours • Access to festivals, tours, and events

Cons

• There can be a mentality of "do what it takes to get it done" which stems from a small business approach to the work. Now the business is larger this is slowly changing but it can still be stressful when backed up to hard deadlines. • The music industry can be unpredictable which leads to last min changes/requests that are urgent • The music industry typically have hard deadlines that are immovable which means it can be a mad dash to the finish line if anything falls behind • Cross team communication can be difficult at times • Constant stream of work can be overwhelming and challenging to keep up with
