You get to meet the brilliant people behind music's greatest artists. The people are a joy.

Interns are non-paid but the job does not have to be full time. Mobility is difficult as far as advancement within the company.

Pros

1. technically work is ok. 2. It was my dream company before joining. 3. Versatile culture in terms of contractors - you can find nearly every IT company's contractors here.

Cons

1. Incompetent CTC. 2. Working here is nightmare. They try to make your life hell by deliberately pressurizing you to work more and fast. 3. Management is very immature, no transparency, no learning opportunities and religiously into micro-management. a) Immature mgmt: Managers and leads think thenselves as king and treats you like servent and try to command you. They don't trust you at all. They will scrutinize deeply you at every step. Try to make you work for at least more than 12 hrs a day, if you don't they will screw your appraisal. they will shamelessly highlight your mistakes/negative points to every one and won't praise you at good work. b) No transparency: They tend to make you handicapped by hiding the info as much as possible. c) No learning: apart from project no freedom for learning. d) Micro-mgmt: they ask you status daily before leaving and shamelessly keep reviews and meetings after office hrs. No freedom to do anything apart from work. This kind of behavior tends to eat up your brain. 4) No facilities for employee like other companies. My previous company had much better facilities and culture. 5) Culture is non-cooperative and over work is high expectation with no overtime pay. 6) Company don't believe in keeping employee happy. 7) Attrition rate is going exponentially up. 8) They don't believe work life balance.

Pros

You get to be around the most advanced technology in computers and televisions. If you like working in this environment it would be perfect for you.

Cons

Not the best commission. You only get commission on warranties and extra addons like installation and service extras that aren't the most necessary things needed.
