Pros

Good pay Flexible work schedule / work life balance Chance to work adjacent to music industry

Cons

No opportunity for advancement whatsoever Constant reorganization Very political environment, poor management Everyone is just following their nose in management where developers have to pick up the slack If you start to shine you are targeted and marginalized Not a good environment for innovation No job security Chaotic environment, lack of collaboration amongst teams Moving goal posts and wasted effort No internal mobility since layoffs in spite of fact that they argued that it would come as a result of it
