Pros

Get to travel Events Get to meet a lot of people Good Work Benefits - free product, tickets, healthcare, life assurance Get to be apart of international campaigns and artist development Get to be Creative Fulfilment of a successful project Largest Music Company in the world It's a good and profitable time to be in the company

Cons

Takes work politics to another level Dependent on the team, but my experience has been that people have quite low morale and are negative The office environment is very stale, old fashioned and doesn't feel like you're working for a cutting edge company, but they're relocating to King's Cross some time in 2018. Very little training / development offered The HR department aren't very reactive Poor communication within the team Quite hard to move up the ladder

Pros

Enjoyed learning about new artists/music. Worked with some great, talented colleagues. Benefits were top notch.

Cons

This is a fear-based culture through and through. Most are in a constant state of fight or flight. I’d never experienced such a volatile environment which was largely driven from the top. Huge pay disparity between upper management and rest of staff.
