Spotify -- What you should know!

Pros

Flexible work-life balance Great benefits Collaborative (most are friendly) Great product and constantly building but will soon fall behind if we don't expand into other verticals

Cons

Becoming to matrixed and is operating at a slower pace. Also the company doesn't fully understand the BLK movement internally and how to properly position the current POC talent they have for leadership opportunities. Politics have begun to poison decision making. They have begun to no longer take stances and lead culture the way they would like too. No POC in leadership (C-suite) and board opportunities are limited as well
