The Orchard Reviews

Employee satisfaction plummeted in March 2025 as the fallout from restructuring and layoffs soured the organizational culture. This decline is fueled by high KPI pressure and a lack of clear career progression; even high performers of several years face stagnant growth. Operational efficiency is further hindered by "low-value" work, such as creating pitch decks for clients with a history of non-engagement. Furthermore, a lack of boundaries with demanding clients has led to chronic unpaid overtime. Most concerning is a perceived culture of favoritism, where opportunities and rewards are distributed based on personal bias rather than merit, deeply undermining team morale.

Has become cold and detached and corporate and is run more like an investment bank than a music company, despite their attempts at culturally inclusive events.
