Pros

- It’s the best treatment I’ve experienced in a workplace: fair salary, good work-life balance (no expectation of overhours), a supportive atmosphere, good-hearted co-workers and management with genuinely good intentions - The people are generally friendly, smart, and interesting - There’s a lot of freedom and room for self-management and personal growth - though it can be challenging for those who prefer more leadership or structured guidance - Flat hierarchies

Cons

- Not all colleagues are equally reliable, and this can be really frustrating - Communication and transparency between teams could be improved - There’s a noticeable lack of structure in some areas, which can feel exhausting

Pros

Excellent product, excellent colleagues - both best in the industry. The work can be enjoyable, and there is cultural cache to the brand which carries a lot of value when networking. Working on cool music stuff is rewarding (for a while) and creates a sense of pride.

Cons

The company has a unique culture that may not be for everyone, with a distinct leadership style and management structure. At times, there seems to be a misalignment in priorities between different departments, such as product development and commerce, as well as sales and marketing. The leadership team tends to maintain a consistent approach to decision-making, which some might view as resistant to more diverse perspectives. While the company strives for excellence and the employees often deliver outstanding work, compensation may not always reflect industry-leading standards, especially in light of inflation over the past few years. Although the company offers competitive benefits, some employees may feel that compensation has not kept pace with the increased cost of living. The leadership encourages a sense of gratitude for the opportunities and benefits provided, though the current economic climate and competitive job market have created a challenging environment for employees seeking more equitable compensation.
