Pros
Finding DistroKid was like finding home. It's a place where you're free to be yourself, are able to make an impact and you work with super smart and amazing humans! There's never a day where I hate my job and I've been here for a while. I've never felt so seen and heard and it's paradise in terms of working. I am so grateful each and every day for DistroKid. Our schedules are flexible, people are understanding and always willing to support, collaborate and listen.
Cons
Not seeing my coworkers in real life as much as I'd like to, but when we get together, it's a blast!

Not what it used to be. (Take heed before joining)

Pros
- It's really cool to learn the ins and outs of music distribution, if you're into that sort of thing - You get to help artists and listen to new music all day - It's fully remote (for now, but that's not guaranteed indefinitely) - A flexible schedule is encouraged (or at least, it was) and it's easy to fit the job around touring and other life stuff
Cons
- The company is owned and controlled by VC firms that don't give a dang about music, understand the digital distribution process, or care about artists' experience using the product - The company is vehemently anti-union and laid off 37 union members right after they unionized, in the name of wanting more profits (they were already seeing massive YOY profit) - Roles are being increasingly outsourced in favor of less experienced/knowledgable BPOs - It's a super niche sector, once you're laid off (which will probably happen, no role is safe) your experience won't be super helpful in finding a new role elsewhere - The company hides behind a thin veil of progressive values; on the inside, they only care about one thing. It's not artists, and it's not their employees. - Boy's Club environment with shady hiring practices, meaning that you'll likely see someone promoted into a role that was never announced or offered to others internally. - No opportunities for advancement due to the reason above.
