      Pros

      NI still benefits from its historical reputation in the music production world. • Some strong engineers remain, though most senior talent has left

      Cons

      Products are unreliable and outdated. Users report Kontakt and Maschine still crash on new Apple M‑series Macs (Community, 2025). • No clear product vision. Reddit threads call NI “stuck treading water” in 2025 (Reddit, 2025). • Strategic missteps. Instead of innovating, NI is licensing its NKS tech to competitors like Akai and Korg (MusicRadar, 2025). • Customer frustration is at an all-time high. Trustpilot shows ~1.5/5 with complaints about bugs, poor support, and upselling (Trustpilot, 2025).

      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.
