Pros

Low stress environment with great management with some unique perks such as a work dog, snacks, beer, nitro coffee, and paid parking. I will say they paid severance for roughly 2 months. Nothing in the contract for this, but overall a great gesture and worth mentioning for their character as an organization.

Cons

401k was on the low end, unable to use OS of choice for development, if you value things like testing and quality of the code I would say they are lacking in this department. I was only working with Symphonic Distribution for 3 months before my team was layed off. I would be very concerned about the decision makers to change their mind so quickly.

Pros

Company culture in general is incredible, a CEO who is a GOOD person and really cares about musicians, very artist-forward approach to music distribution, very international and culturally respectful team members, and colleagues who are all passionate about helping independent artists thrive. This is the best job ive ever had, and the people have so much to do with that.

Cons

Sometimes I wish we had a physical office space in NYC, but that's hardly a con.

Pros

Really good exposure to music industry Mostly remote work (good balance for family's which I loved for my kids)

Cons

AVOID at all costs! Lack of transparency and unclear communication around role expectations and long-term opportunities. Important decisions often come from higher-ups without direct or timely communication to employees. Limited mentorship or guidance, making it difficult for employees to feel supported or grow in their roles. Workplace culture can feel exclusive at times, with not enough emphasis on inclusion and collaboration. Pay does not always feel competitive for the workload and industry standards. Job stability can feel uncertain, which impacts morale. During busy periods, workloads can become overwhelming without adequate support. Workplace bullying
