Pros

Stock growth is good. R&D team and ML team is solid.

Cons

Base pay is not high compared to tech companies. Some higher level managers have their positions due to relationships rather than capabilities. Majority of data scientists at the company are data analysts. Career growth is the worst at Spotify, most times you have to wait for someone with higher title to leave to get promoted by taking their role.
