Pros

- Nice office - Free breakfast on Fridays - Free CDs

Cons

1) Bullying is an accepted practice from New York management. 2) Top level UK management literally get a velvet rope and use it to designate themselves a 'VIP' area at work parties. Truly the most egotistical thing I've ever seen and really summed up their attitudes towards employees. 3) Constantly told that low pay is due to the industry, but forget that we can see the annual accounts and how well the company is doing (and how well management reward themselves). 4) Unequal treatment between departments for perks (records, tickets, invites to awards).

Pros

Great benefits and Flex Time - Work life balance

Cons

Operates with a sense of elite-ism. Management expects you to feel like it is a privilege to work there. Extremely political - who you know is everything. Innovation and problem solving are not valued. YES men/women are rewarded. Individuality is discouraged (ironic since the music biz is considered a creative industry). Diversity and inclusion are merely fancy words.

Human resources team

Not sure there are many cons. Maybe some career growth within department would be nice.

Consultative sales consultant - electronics

Mar 30, 2026

Pros

Wear comfy clothes. Laid back corporate environment. Booze. Fun perks. Flex work

Cons

Accounts assistant

Mar 30, 2026

Pros

I loved working for Warner Music UK in their Accounts Dept. Sadly I had to leave because the commute was too far. Would definitely recommend working or interning here if you are looking for progression. Hard work is certainly rewarded. If you are not looking to progress there are still a lot of perks such as good bonuses, a wellness week, year-end and Christmas parties etc... Would recommend applying

Cons

The salary is a bit low however there are regular pay reviews and the pros outweigh the cons. Definitely a fun place to work and advance your career.

Pros

The department gave a lot of helpful insight about the company and the department itself. I was always given tons of tasks and I loved my department. My supervisor was always there for me and whenever I needed help he was always there with an open door. I learned a lot from this experience and loved every minute of it.

Cons

I wish they had given us some sort of compensation for the traveling I had to do.

Licensing coordinator

Mar 30, 2026

Pros

none - see cons. maybe the only good thing was that the hours were pretty standard.

Cons

Licensing/Royalties department is like a black hole. No respect from company, totally disregarded as bottom of the barrel workers. Salaries remained stagnant for years. Senior Management in this department is completely unqualified. Computer systems are outdated and inefficient.
