The emperor has no clothes - Senior Product Manager Shazam Entertainment Employee Review

Great working environment, good benefits, free perks, team events. Executive team is amazing. No one bothers you as long as you do your job.

I cannot think of one

The best part of working at Shazam is the ability to impact real change that is noticeable and impacts the business. The work environment is flexible, which is great if you are a self starter and don't need a ton of direction. The advertising and TV organization is very new (3 years old) and therefore is still a work in progress. My personal style is pretty entrepreneurial and therefore allows me to think creatively and outside the box to solve problems. My colleagues are also self starters, but understand the value of a work life balance which keeps us close, both in the office and out.

What can be difficult is that Shazam has experienced quite a bit of changes over the past two years. We are just now getting to a state that provides even a shred of structure on the business side of the company. Some people can't manage in a ambiguous work environment, so it creates stress when the lines of communication aren't fully in tact. Luckily the company has made some great strides in resolving this issue. A few other areas I wish they would invest in is career development, training, and outside educational resources. With such a small team and big mission, I would like to be able to utilize 3rd party resources to advance my skills.
