Pros

It's a great time to be working at Spotify. The company is growing fast but is still nimble enough for talented people to do amazing things. Spotify clearly takes its employees' welfare seriously - pay and benefits are great, culture takes influence from a great Swedish work-life balance mindset, nice amount of travel because of widely diverse teams, and overall a respectful work environment where everyone is motivated, excited and working towards the same goal. It is easy to see how Spotify is much coveted by many candidates as an employer.

Cons

Starting to show signs of growing pains, though that is normal for a company at this stage. Everyone is doing so much that sometimes teams are not looped in even though they should be. Needs better consolidation and more frequent communication.

Pros

- I get to work with competent people - Great benefits like premium health insurance, discounts etc. - It's always happening stuff at the office, social events, artists coming to play etc. - Free food and beverage (not the cheap stuff either) - Company is expanding very fast which is exciting to take part of - Access to a professional studio with tons of instrument inside and the list can go on.

Cons

The office I work in is located quite far away from where I live so the commute is quite long.
