Just another tech company. Dumb managers, leadership with FOMO, under-qualified engineers... but good work-life balance

Pros

Great work-life balance. Nice perks (gym, office, food card). Cool product.

Cons

Nobody really knows what they're doing. Everything is about the fomo hype train. The engineers don't know what they're doing, the managers don't know what they're doing, and the C-suite doesn't know what they're doing.

So, it's just another tech company.

Few career advancement opportunities.

Advice to Management

Stop being tone-deaf. Stop trying to break into markets Spotify has no business trying to enter. Stop buying into the hype trains. Start listening to your engineers, and stop being dumb.
