Pros

Extremely skilled and motivated team, best atmosphere, excellent working environment. Rather than a workplace, this is a big and diverse family - where we all give the best of us - specially if you are into music. Cannot think of better place to be and people to work with. The daily routine is wonderful.

Cons

The upper management is ABSOLUTELY disconnected from the teams and colleagues at all levels. Completely lack of transparency and honesty by them - their decisions are made by a roulette. They hire upper managers who have no idea at all about our products and pretend to save the world. Random decisions are being made without consulting the teams. Salary is pretty low (if you work here is for the passion and love to music) if you are not an upper manager A long way to improve in diversity and inclusion, specially the men-dominated upper management. At the end of the day, investors rule this company. Expect random firings at any time without previous advice.

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Native Instruments stands at an intersection of our past success and our ambition for the future and we want to ensure that we remain a leader in the industry for a very long time. Difficult decisions had to be made to align with our strategic direction. We fully agree with you that we have some of the best people out there and as you know, unfortunately we had to part ways with some in recent months. This is in no way a reflection of the work, dedication and commitment of our employees and we are working hard towards a strategy that will help us become even stronger and more resilient to future market changes.

Pros

Super cool environment and amazing products that are easy to sell, cause who doesn't love music!

Cons

A lot of miscommunication and groupthink can make marketing projects spiral when they could have been more efficient by just meeting sooner.
