Pros
The overall company has a great culture and a strong product.
Cons
My department did not embody the company culture—it operated in a way that made it feel like a different company. The company overall rewards extroverted, outspoken leadership which can overshadow people who are more quiet, introverted leaders. This results in some of the better leadership being overlooked for people who talk a big talk but can't back it up.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Pandora Media, LLC full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great culture, principles, and mission. Laid back and engaging with great life-work balance, flexible schedule, work from home day. Diverse environment (age, gender, race, technical background). Nice office with drinks and snacks (fruit, pizza day, bagel Wednesday, beer etc), concerts in the office, talent shows, sponsored volunteering hours.
Cons
Main offices located in the the bay area (high cost of living). Pays below market value. No 401k matching; feels like politics beats hard work and quality.
