Pros
Freedom to find a flow that works for you (minimal rigid office "norms" to follow), amazing benefits that reduce personal stress. If you're passionate about music and seek new challenges, Spotify is hard to beat right now. You have a voice, and you are encouraged to use it. Squeaky wheel definitely gets the grease.
Cons
There is an understaffing issue that is quite possibly the result of overpaying employees who aren't earning their keep. Frequent reorgs, changes in management, and standard office politics/nepotism sometimes make you feel like you're spinning your wheels no matter how hard you try to drive your own development...which they want you to do. Expect some difficulty in navigating the internal ecosystem. Tech departments and content/music departments don't speak the same language or have the same priorities. HR is an absolute mess. From the lack of transparency in hiring, to the slow-as-molasses internal experiences...Spotify is better than this.
