It used to be better - Software Engineer Spotify Employee Review

1. Underpay. No bonus. Crappy options. 2. Acquired some consulting company (I won't name it here) two years ago with toxic culture and a charlatan leader ( self proclaimed thought leader, scientist and entrepreneur) and somehow this toxic culture grows in the company. This "charlatan leader" who is hated by almost everyone somehow have the ears of the CXOs and kept dishing out ridiculous/stupid roadmaps. It is pretty mind blowing the leadership can't see this phony through. 3. Hiring like crazy. Extremely low bar. Bad on boarding. You can get hired even with only 1 thumb up.
