Pros

Lots of passionate employees. Office is in a nice part of Berlin.

Cons

Management constantly changing their mind and not listening to users. Passion slowly drains away after a tidal wave of bad management decisions. People fired without warning (illegal in Germany) and often given 10 minutes to clear their desk.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. During our 23-year history, we achieved many successes thanks to the ongoing passion and commitment of our employees and we are thankful for that. As we transition to a centralized organization that supports the creation of a new, unified and fully integrated platform, we had to make some tough decisions. Parting ways with our employees has been the most difficult part of our transformation, but unfortunately a necessary one from an operational standpoint. Please be assured that the terminations were handled fairly and within the relevant local laws.

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.
