Best Company I've Ever Worked At!

Pros

Strong Culture built on values that resonate with our people, Strong sense of passion and purpose to be the best audio platform in the world, Amazing culture of learning, Strong Leadership built on Growth Mindset, Amazing Benefits (ex. Best Parental Leave Programme in the world!, Flexible Public Holiday Program, IVF/Egg Freezing Coverage, etc)...Refreshing to work for a company that puts its people first!

Cons

Onboarding can be difficult to navigate at times given we are constantly in hypergrowth and we are constantly evolving. You need to be very comfortable with speed and change to work here. But given the culture and experiences at my prior companies (typical US Corporations), I honestly have no complaints...this is the best company I've ever worked at with the best leadership team I've ever had to learn from

Pros

- working with really smart people - working in cross functional team, having end-to-end responsibility of a product - free food all day - lots of afterworks, separate floor for having fun (pingpong, foosball, VR room, kareoke room, board game room and more) - free Spotify account - people from all around the world, really open and really friendly - chance to go to conferences and visiting other offices in other countries (or even relocate there fully supported) - changing teams time to time is encouraged - good quality product - great development environment provided, good IT department - flexible working hours

Cons

- making swede friends is not easy, but they mostly speak english even in between each other - getting a promotion is not easy, the whole system is a bit weird for me. The people who decide if you are worthy are people you are not working with. In order to move forward you need to increase your visibility, which means that everyone gets a lot of company-wide emails from people trying to do exactly that about topics that are not important. - The salary is not great compared to other companies in Stockholm, but including the other perks (like stock options) it's still a pretty neat package
