Don't waste your time, it isn't worth it

Pros

- Working with nice and talented people, even if they're now an endangered species - It can be an interesting company for very junior positions (don't stay there more than 2 years though)

Cons

- An entire team got suddenly fired for "strategic reasons" in 2016. Nobody ever understood why. They hired a new team abroad, partly made of friends of some top managers. - Lots of people are hired because they're a friend or a friend of a friend. - Only short term decisions are made. - The top management doesn't use / understand the product. It leads to broken business decisions. - There is absolutely zero consensus. The top managers and the CEO are in their Ivory towers, only making decisions by themselves, thinking they are right about everything. Some of them even have assistants printing their emails for them (interesting behavior for people working in the digital field by the way). - No transparency at all. It's all about lies - Some people in the HR support crazy decisions the top managers make about their employees instead of supporting their own workforce. - Too much politics - Top management order some teams to hire interns because they're - At Deezer, you are not considered as someone; you are just something.

Pros

Wonderful company with passionated, talented and caring people + with a great product ! Very challenging environment drived by innovation and where you never get bored. You have a chance to build a lot of new things and, when you look back, you realize what has been achieved and this makes you proud. I feel really lucky to have experienced such a professional adventure.

Cons

Transition period because of the growth of the company, internationalization, new Management Team... Change is not always easy but brings also good things we should focus on. Communication will be key to reach this goal.

Pros

Deezer is a great place to work and grow as a professional. The challenges to overcome within the company as well as within the sector are multiple creating a stimulating working environment! I am proud to work with many talented individuals who care about the product and the compnay and who contribute greatly into making Deezer what it is today. This has been one of the most enriching experiences i've ever had.

Cons

A lot of young managers lacking managerial experience but with great potential to become leaders in a few years. Lack of internal communication which is getting better and better due to everyone's efforts to make a contribution and find the right tools & timing to transmit key information internally.
