      Pros

      Dinamic with a tremendous respec for its employees which is also translated into Career Development. Fast paced with multi challenges. True Global Organization. Freedom to create and develop your work delivering results.

      Cons

      Sometimes very Swedish minded which may not fit into all different cultures. Working with an extremelly tigh headcount wich overloads too much employees who can burn out easily. Some personal preferencesrelated to professionals may overrule performance and real talents.

      Bad all around experience

      Pros

      People think that your job is interesting, great work-life balance, could be better if you worked in marketing or sales as those departments are clearly most valued

      Cons

      No career progression plans for younger employees - expect you to work blindly until an opportunity is "given" to you (coworker above you quits/laid off). No official training provided, thrown into the fire and you sink or swim. Favourtism obvious with certain managers. Terrible overall compensation. Cliquey environment means that some people may never talk to you based on your department - ie not in the "important" departments of marketing/sales/promo. Office and location is abysmal. Ultimately working under a flawed business structure where revenue available is shrinking every year and employees are expected to navigate 20 years of poor business decisions/waste and a failing record industry (not music industry as a whole). Morale is kept up by touting the company line of reaching annual business plan even though profit goals are reduced yearly.
