The people are amazing, it really is experience-first for product development but also for employees. Recruitment was fun and accommodating, and the office culture is A1.

Cons

As with any growing company, there are some growing pains, but these are challenges/opportunities that we are excited to be facing head-on.

Pros

Got some hidden music lovers. An approved CEO.

Cons

All decisions makings are top-down. Employees are more like executors and feel less motivated, lack of the feeling of rewarding.

Strong teams, solid senior leadership, genuine values - great place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the few companies of this size where you will work with a world class team, across most functions. A great learning opportunity. Strong sense of culture and values, an excellent CEO and a clear vision for the future of the company. A dedication to customers and crafting the right product. A genuine point of view; whether on diversity in tech, rights for musicians or net neutrality. This is no faceless corporate.

Cons

At times, chaotic - still maturing from start up to medium size company. Poor people development - though may change under new HR leadership. Multiple HQs and remote teams - forces all to communicate better and more often but can be challenging for managers.
