BandLab Technologies Reviews

Pros

The company is contributing to share what's next for musicians, and it's stimulating to work in this environment; because we have to build it.

Cons

The pace is high, and things change fast! We need to keep learning, unlearning and relearning!

Pros

Basic coverage Insurance , Dental Staff benefit Staff purchase

Cons

Its quite sad thou, the pantry could have been better

Pros

You almost don't face any dramatic deadlines. Technical decisions are made with getting everyone's opinion.

Cons

The company is conservative when it comes to internal atmosphere. There's almost no effort towards team building.

Pros

will be good if you like music

Cons

From my perspective, management in engineering does not want to manage. They just want to be engineers. While this is fine in a small company, at the size of bandlab with many employees, the managers are actively hindering progress by not doing their job. If you need managers instead of ICs, please hire some actual managers or at least people who dont mind being a manager. Engineering excellence is not prioritized. Engineering excellence requires the whole engineering team to work together to build better, more resilient products. When requests were made to another team to make a feature easier to develop or to fix a bug that would make the product obviously better, the answer was almost always no and the answer was always to do 2-3x more work to work around stupid, unnecessary restrictions. HR does not help employees. While I worked at other companies and saw ineffective HR, this is the first time where I saw active disdain of employees by HR. Simple questions have to be checked up by the C suite and managers before they can be answered. Any request you make, they make you feel like you are asking for too much.

Pros

Chill place to work at! Great colleagues.

Cons

The micro-management from higher-ups and lack of HR or a legal team can make things bottleneck.

Pros

A big deal if u are music aficionado Work from home benefits Chill environment Pantry’s decent Kind of a good place to learn/base your career for a few years and then move on

Cons

- Though hierarchy’s rather flat and company’s relatively small, plenty of miscomm/no comm exists between teams/depts - Unless u have a direct channel with the big boss and gets to tick off his big boxes, chances of u getting promoted is generally slim. If you’re hired into a cog position, you’re a cog for life in the company (unless your direct boss is a good fella or someone above you leaves.) - Staff benefits is mediocre and nothing to shout about
