Pros

Decent gear and a respectable history in recording.

Cons

Sales and Marketing (S&M) management is cowardly and dishonest. Belittles people publicly and thinks it's funny. Brags about blood on his hands. Overall... The bad guys win here. Certain directors, with NO higher education keep their jobs after making abhorrent mistakes because they are sleeping with management du jour. Good people dismissed for bringing truth to the surface. Too many honest employees have been betrayed and nobody calls management on it out of fear of retribution. HR Intervention is milquetoast. Do not trust this place. CEO is clueless. Favoritism is constant. No room for growth.

Pros

As someone said before there are really no pros besides the non-management people. Products lack innovation and employees are underpaid and overworked.

Cons

Management is terrible and it’s been a revolving door for years and years. They keep changing things every year and the results keep getting worse. Compensation is below average for the Bay Area and cost of living adjustments are meager and inconsistent. Also don’t count on your bonus. There is no vision and the CEO just seems content to change the deck chairs every year on this sinking ship.
