Pros

I am impressed with Berklee as a workplace that is kind, warm, welcoming and values work-life balance for it's staff. The benefits, pay, and perks are great as well. This is an environment that holds deep beliefs about DEI initiatives and goes out of its way to make it a welcoming space for all.

Cons

Perhaps because the institution is rooted in arts and not business, there are a lot of oral traditions rather than written rules which can be tricky to navigate as a manager.

Pros

-helping students -talking about music

Cons

-forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
