Avantages

Fueled mostly by the passion and dedication of the community of volunteers, conference speakers, and a few genuine staff members. Built on the blood, sweat, and tears of musicians, filmmakers, and digital creators. CEO Hugh Forrest's vision kept the content going.

Inconvénients

Inconsistencies across departments and event management, with volunteers and seasonal staff being treated like fodder. Volunteers are treated as lower-class and are instructed not to speak to full-time staff. Too many silos and fiefdoms fueled by a toxic culture of cliques, favoritism, nepotism, and discrimination. Extended hours at low to no pay. Posted compensation for recent job postings is appalling and lower than average for the industry.

Avantages

There were a lot of changes happening for the 2026 season of SXSW and everyone worked extremely hard to kick what felt like a brand new festival.

Inconvénients

The seasonal months are too short, starting in January and ending at the end of March required too quick of on boarding and navigation.

Avantages

get to work with some wonderful people

Inconvénients

High turnover due to poor leadership with no direction lead by unknowledgeable and ungrateful management Inappropriate workload, expectations and boundaries Poor benefits and compensation Stressful office environment Don't be fooled by the brand or its potential as it has a poor local reputation for many reasons other than it's subpar operation and lackluster production. Those who work here are unhappy and are often disrespectful to their peers, contractors and the local community. I recommend avoiding wasting your time and dignity.
