Pros: - Free food - Trips to Stockholm - Lots of activities

Cons: I am getting tired of the constant reorgs. My team had a great vibe and then was suddenly uprooted and hasn’t recovered. Morale is low across the company because of this. I’ve felt stuck in my role without advancement. I’m unhappy with my manager who doesn’t seem to be able to help or provide any guidance on moving forward.

Pros: Spotify really cares about maintaining an honest and respectful company culture, and it shows in their hiring practices, work expectations, and benefits. Awesome place to work if you love music.

Cons: It definitely feels like they're not sure where to go next. They've got a great music streaming app, but it's hard to see what the next steps are, and that "fog" can be felt in the day-to-day development cycle sometimes.

Pros: I came from a highly corporate job, and while I knew that the culture here would be good, I did not expect anything like this. The fact that a company this big could still maintain a culture this awesome is incredible. And yet, it doesn't take long for you to realize that despite the fact that people seem to be constantly socializing and just hanging out, a TON of work actually gets done. Career development is carefully maintained, and as the company grows, it regularly evaluates whether the paradigms that are in place are still valid. I have also long had a good view of the general business decisions made by Spotify, especially in the recent years, but any doubts I ever had about the decisions that they made were blown away when I was exposed to some of the stuff they are working on. They really are on the cutting edge of media, and will hopefully bring about a lot of positive change in the way people experience music in the years to come.

Cons: There is some sense of entitlement I pick up on from time to time, but that might just be me transitioning from a corporate role.
