Pros

Discounted guitars - occasionally. Sometimes nice events.

Cons

The management is awful. If you have any kind of disability you will be treated poorly. You will have to fight for every day off that you need. And if you take FMLA your coworkers will talk poorly of you and your managers will be angry with you. People are randomly let go - all the time. They really use their 'right to work state' status there. Also the industry is declining. This is not a company to join for a long career. The turnover rate for every department is incredibly high.

Pros

Great music culture. Discounted guitars.

Cons

Great for rock stars. Not for rock star engineers. Management sees software development as a liability not asset. Tight, noisy cubicles. Bad coffee. Lots of churn. Managed like a furniture company. ECommerce platform is a joke.
