Great Parental Leave, popular product, well-known brand. - Anonymous employee Spotify Employee Review

Unskilled managers, very junior hires with little or no experience are given responsibility on the basis of how popular they are. Extreme nepotism in certain departments, where hires and promotions are only secured if you participate in social events. Open, widespread and obvious mistreatment (lack of opportunity, unequal pay, name calling, etc.) of people of color; just take a look at the number and quality of people of color that have left the company in the last few years. Some people are hired despite being completely disrespectful to others in prior companies and lacking total empathy or soft skills.
