Pros

Colleagues are great, really nice, friendly and skilled. Tech stack is amazing, probably the best you can work with in Italy. If you like music it is a cool place to work at. I am really sorry I had to quit the job, but if you'll read the cons you will understand why...

Cons

The CEO is the most prepotent and arrogant person you will ever meet in a company. He has no respect for anybody. He keeps shouting at everyone all the time. He talks all the time about team spirit and culture, but he himself is really narcissistic, selfish and individualistic. Whenever he needs something, you become his best friend. One second after, you are garbage. Talking to him is completely useless because he manipulates you and he turns the cards on the table however he likes. When you meet him the first time he's really nice with you, but things changes after the first months. So, I would recommend to talk to former employees, and if you accept a job offer be prepared to face this person.

Thank you for your review on our company. We appreciate your comments both positive and negative, however we are saddened by your experience and the way you may have perceived management. We would like to state that the working environment at Musixmatch is open, collaborative, and engaging, this of course comes with time constraints and hard work. We are passionate about our work and the company, our CEO is a respected and well-thought-out leader, and our company culture is specific to our industry. Each business has their own specific ‘person best fit’ for the role and the company, and those who are part of Musixmatch blend in well and match our culture, they are happy and feel proud to be part of our team. We apologise that our cultures did not match as we would have liked. Given the young nature of the business, we are refining procedures, and working collaboratively in creating the best working experience for employees.
