Pros

Great people, young and dynamic teams, very nice atmosphere, weekly breakfasts and vendredrinks, a lot of music fans and music-related events !

Cons

I only did an internship there, I didn't view any big drawback. No real home-working policy: might be an improvement ?

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.
