Pros

Great to work in the music business. I worked with great people (who are mostly now laid off). Casual atmosphere.

Cons

New management (Peaksware) didn't have a clue what an educational music publisher does. For months they had no direction at all, and then I left. The parent company is terrible at communication so people felt lost and abandoned. They laid off some really talented people. It is a shame to see a great company crumble like this.

Pros

The people make Alfred what it is, or I should say, what it was. Prior to being acquired by a tech company, Alfred was wonderful. Not a ton of money, but the people there were not there for the money. We cared about music and music education. Amazing work/life balance, I will give them that much.

Cons

New ownership doesn't understand the music industry or music education. They view music as "content" not art. They are digging their heals into the ground for a software package that isn't exciting or demanded.
