Positive culture, organizationally a mess
Positive culture, organizationally a mess
- People come together having a shared love of music.
- Lots of cool technical challenges and ways to evolve the platform.
- Company all hands and communications on the bets help show what all teams are working toward.
- Top-down approach to management.
- Really hard to get promoted or even to switch teams.
- Several re-orgs in a short time span.
- Lack of a unified vision. When a vision is presented, it's unclear if those teams are actually being sufficiently supported.
- Salary is lower than the industry standard, and some younger employees are definitely underpaid.
Trust in the teams you're building.

System design, white-boarding, and behavioral. System design was very straightforward. The algorithms were nothing surprising and not particularly difficult. "Culture fit" seems to be what matters the most, rather than technical skill.
