Pros

Benefits are really top notch - monthly food stipend, mental health and fertility services, cool swag, nice offices, etc. The product is obviously very cool and something I feel a lot of people are very passionate about. I've never worked at a company before where I've personally really cared about or enjoyed the product, so that is cool.

Cons

Management is relatively a mess. Actual ownership is pretty non-existent across the board and priorities are constantly changing to the point I felt like it was pointless to even begin working on something because it would change again in a few weeks. It's definitely very clear who are the "favorites" and most of the favorites are social suck ups (sorry, don't know how to say that more tactfully). Additionally, I know Spotify is known for its WLB, but be weary as this is TOTALLY dependent on your role and org. I realize this is pretty true for most companies (not just Spotify) but one of the reasons I joined was for the advertisement of WLB. It was ironic because I have never become so burnt out in my entire career and as quickly as I have at Spotify. I'm not sure how career opportunities were back in the day, but career advancement did not even seem possible for me.

Pros

Great benefits and quality of life

Cons

Easy to get lost in the size of the company. Always a "what if" after large layoffs.
