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.

Advice to Management

None at the moment, keep up the awesome work.
