      Great projects and flexible environment, but culture suffers.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      You get to work on high-profile projects for major artists in a great NYC office. The environment is flexible, the dogs are a plus, and lunch is catered twice a week. Most of the staff are talented, hardworking, and genuinely nice people. It’s a "cool" place to be on the surface, but the cultural issues (lack of promotions and favoritism) run deep. See below.

      Cons

      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.

      Used to be special, not anymore

      Business outlook

      Pros

      There are still great people working there and there is plenty of great music being distributed by them, but...

      Cons

      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.
