Pros

* great eng culture * great ppl around * good managers

Cons

* Company takes money from independent creators and gives this money to major labels. That's their business model. It is even worse than Spotify. * All decisions are made by the NYC execs team, who are mostly real estate agents with no care for music, who are waiting for their golden parachutes.
