Pros: The work-life balance is excellent. Upper management is transparent and honest. Compensation is good (but not as good as other big tech companies). The NYC office is beautiful, and the food program has gotten so much better over time. Spotify is overall a great place to work if you have or are starting a family. The parental leave program is second to none, and they're extremely supportive as you reintegrate back into the office.

Cons: If you care solely about maximizing compensation, then Spotify might not be for you. You'll make more at any of the big tech companies, but likely the work-life balance will be poor. Reorgs are also a way of life here, often times unnecessary. There can also be a lot of politics and backstabbing at the mid-management level.

Pros: Lots of smart people to learn from and force yourself to become better. You'll find tons of responsibility and freedom in the projects you work on. The organization is very flat with decentralized decision-making. There are very challenging scalability problems. If you love music, it's great to work on improving and scaling a product that you use yourself every day.

Cons: Sometimes chaotic due to lack of central coordination and very fast growth, the organization is struggling with figuring out how to grow and scale and is experiencing a lot of growing pains. Employee benefits could be better.

Pros: Great Benefits Good WLB Good Management

Cons: Slow at times. Pay could be better.
