Pros

Unlimited vacation Best 401k in the USA THE PEOPLE (excluding the CEO) are some of the strongest and nicest you will ever work with - the only reason anyone stays It's a music biz - so its sexy to work there Casual dress, nice office, good location

Cons

Let's go with a list: 1. The CEO is the classic example of the "I know everything" personality, so much so that he will change the direction of the business drastically if he feels that it will somehow benefit the company position. This is usually done with no input from any senior staff/department directors or those involved in the day-to-day and is always a knee-jerk approach. This is why nothing was accomplished for almost 2 years during my stay there. 2. The CEO will take over technical/marketing/sales meetings and present opinion based conjecture to the contrary of the real findings presented by those who are spending the time to do research and provide architecture that is founded. He does so in an 'I''m the big kid on the playground' approach so that others (who generally have the proper knowledge" are brow beat into waiting for him to finish his eulogy of thoughts. This behavior finds it's way to the most basic functions of the business and is TRULY the anchor keeping this great company from thriving. 3. It is not unusual to see someone break down in tears over comments made by the CEO. Those comments are usually derogatory and condescending and in most cases made during large town hall style meetings. 4. The process required to obtain buy-off on any given project is so laden with CEO required review that most of the time engineers spend more time creating plans and slide decks than actually writing code. So in summary, if you are looking to subject yourself to ridicule and like working on a tread mill than this is the place for you.

Pros

My boss was great, but then when he did not agree with senior management he was fired. From there it went downhill. However, the 401k match is outstanding.

Cons

Everything besides the 401k. No job security, more of a dictatorship than a well run company. Senior management will make you feel like a piece of dirt, they get in your face and yell at you, then ask you why your unhappy.
