Pros

Great pay, decent benefits. Remote work flexibility in SOME positions.

Cons

Once the CEO hired Joe Inzerillo, a ex-Disney exec, it’s gone terribly downhill. After ruining a Hulu merger and leaving them to clean up the pieces, he came to SXM and ensured his buddies came along, replacing tenured and talented senior staff. This completely ruined the culture and growth opportunities for those that had been with SXM. If you are not ex-Disney, or don’t know how to play the game, they will lay you off in a heartbeat. Joe I., now CTO, bloviates about nothing with impressive style and somehow manages to get the board of directors and CEO eating out of his palm despite nothing to show for his time there.. all of this leading to an incredibly toxic workplace, no good product that anyone cares to use, and an unforgiving culture that will spit you out the second you disagree or step out of the ‘yes-master’ mindset. Prepare to get laid off.. they’ve done it to many hundreds before and they will continue to do it as the company continues to fail.

Pros

Great work place with fun people

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is that most people start as part-time employees. Given the current state of the radio industry, there isn't much room for raises or upward mobility. In many cases, the only way to advance is to wait for someone else to leave so that a full-time position becomes available.
