Pros

- People come together having a shared love of music - Lots of cool technical challenges and ways to evolve the platform - Company all hands and communications on the bets help show what all teams are working toward

Cons

- Top down approach to management - Really hard to get promoted or even to switch teams - Several re-orgs in short time span - Lack of a unified vision/ and when a vision is presented, it's unclear if those teams are actually being sufficiently supported - Salary is lower than the industry standard and some younger employees are definitely underpaid

Was very straightforward, all remote, and accesible.

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