Pros

- Get to tackle technical problems within the extremely interesting domain of music / lots of intelligent people passionate about tech, music, and podcasts - Huge emphasis on curbing burnout and keeping people happy and engaged - You get to be at the forefront of an entire industry and to think about how to shape the audio experience for hundreds of millions of people - Beautiful office spaces - Transparent upper management If you're interested in working at the intersection of music and tech--where you can really have a hand in making the audio experience better--there is no better company out there. If your primary concern is money then you're better off working at FAANG.

Cons

- Difficult to work split between Stockholm and NY -- cultural divide/differing mentalities of doing things can cause tension - Disheartening to see cases when profit is prioritized over artist or user satisfaction - Slow upward growth trajectory

Was very straightforward, all remote, and accesible.

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