Pros

-Amazing culture with some of the brightest engineers I've ever worked with... and we get to play with music data! - Minimal politics and autonomous teams means engineers actually shape the product features. - Great relationship between product and engineering. - Bands regularly come by and give in-office performances. - Fully stocked kitchen and open office layout. - MUSIC!

Cons

Management is a bit lacking. There are some managers that have management positions because they've been with the company the longest and not because they are the most capable or qualified.
