In addition to awesome travel prospects, the company culture is the picture of fun and positivity. At least, that's according to their very active social media accounts. BigBeat throw parties supervised by their one-meter giraffe plushie mascot to celebrate achievements, and also provide a steady supply of sweets for the office (preferred candy available on request).

S2S main business is music — the planning and production of music contents and its sales through physical CDs and digital content on iTunes Store, Amazon, Spotify and so on. Apart from the cool points you'll earn working for a music production company, you'll also get early insight into new artists as S2S also runs its own up and coming label.
