Pros

- Free food - Free travel

Cons

Spotify is one of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked in. Politics run rampant and teams here are the most genuinely unkind I've ever met. If you care about producing work, this is not the place for you. Do NOT put your trust in managers. Here, they are just as destructive to your personal goals as they are ineffectual in helping you realize any professional development. Additionally, if you’re a person of color don’t expect Leadership to create a safe work environment for you. I’ve personally witnessed incredibly ignorant remarks on the front page of internal public forums and racially insensitive remarks in official presentations. These comments have gone totally unresolved and no official action has ever been taken. Spotify enjoys making money off the backs of POC artists but not supporting their own employees of color.

It was mundane at times and did not feel like I was changing that much, little purpose.
