Pros

As a workplace, Extreme Music has a relaxed attitude, interesting content, fun atmosphere, events and projects. The content is always changing and the staff is expected to be hip and up to date.

Cons

All of that relaxed attitude goes out the window at any point and the staff becomes unreasonably accountable for tasks well outside their job description. Even the management is either stretched so thin or doesn't care enough to let this happen.

The music and talent is top notch! Coworkers and management are enjoyable to work with!

Cons

Being owned by Sony means great benefits but more corporate strictness and imposition.

Pros

Nobody is happy working there

Cons

1. Poor Leadership & Lack of Direction Constant changes with no clear vision. Micromanagement or absentee leadership. Leaders who blame instead of lead. 2. Unhealthy Communication Gossip is rampant. Passive-aggressive emails or meetings. No psychological safety to speak up. 3. Burnout Culture Regular overtime is the norm. You feel guilty for taking breaks or sick days. High turnover but no change in expectations. 4. Lack of Respect & Recognition Contributions go unnoticed. Disrespectful behavior is tolerated. Promotions or opportunities are biased or unclear. 5. Hostility or Harassment Bullying, exclusion, or inappropriate comments. Complaints are ignored or punished. HR protects the company more than the people. Planning a Professional Exit Strategy Getting off at the next "station" means leaving intentionally—not just 🎉do that with integrity
