Pros

- Great work culture that emphasizes work-life balance, cultural diversity, and recognition for top performance - The product is awesome and employees are super passionate about it - Engineering has solid technical talent and all the teams have passionate, caring, and intelligent people that act as great co-workers - New management has a clear strategic direction and is extremely transparent

Cons

- The 2017 layoffs negatively affected work culture and workspace, but it's rebounded to a normal place again - Salary and compensation is market average, company is willing to pay more for C-level executives than recruiting top, new talent (a strategy I disagree with)

Pros

Globally known company; people like the legacy

Cons

Management, lack of clarity, out of touch with the users/creators

Pros

- Great vacation days, parental leave, and health + dental insurance - Health and wellness budget - Learning and development budget - Fun product - Nice office - Many people devoted to making the product and company better

Cons

- Toxic people in high positions who manage not to get fired - Diversity & inclusion was said to be a priority but no one has time for it - People complain about issues but no one fixes them - Understaffed, hence the previous two points - Stressful because it's the music business - Technical career advancement is fairly impossible unless you are willing to move to Berlin - Management proficiency varies heavily because training is scarce - Some very incompetent people managed to get hired somehow - NYC office environment was very bro-y and competitive - Salary could be better for the amount and quality of work expected

Pros

Great product and awesome international vibe from being Berlin based

Cons

Lack of tech resources makes project realization tough
