Pros
SC onboarding experience was warm and welcoming. The mission and brand messaging is so strong and inspiring, makes you feel like you are really part of something important and next level in music. Also, the people here are ridiculously cool and creative. I feel cool just by association. SC workplace environment makes me feel cared for and supported because I get every tool and resource I need (maybe even more than I need) at my fingertips. I highly highly recommend SoundCloud to anyone that wants to work for the coolest music entertainment company on the planet!
Cons
I only have good things to say...sorry!
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
very fun and exciting environment
Cons
no cons no cons no cons
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Cool product and it is representing the creator economy.
Cons
It’s hard to compete with razor thin profit margin and exodus of talents.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
European company culture is implemented, providing a much less stressful work environment. Work/Life balance is actually a real thing here!
Cons
The majority of my team is out the headquarters in Berlin. So I haven't gotten the chance to meet them in person because of Covid.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The SoundCloud brand is cool. The employees (outside of the C-suite) are diverse. Good work/life balance.
Cons
SoundCloud underpays compared to other tech companies. You can't attract or keep good employees this way. New leadership came in 2020 and has yet to figure out its footing or give a clear vision of what SoundCloud is. A lot of the initiatives make no sense for a DSP and seem arbitrarily prioritized by upper management. A lot of turnover.

Pros
Globally known company. Brand with potential.
Cons
Be careful while interviewing, don’t be quick to drink the kool-aid, what they sell to new hires isn’t all that it seems. - Severely understaffed and top heavy organization with an ever changing/confusing business model. - Management proficiency is scarce and the lack of accountability at the senior and executive level is disappointing. - Terrible work life balance. Several meetings, long work hours, especially if you are a level 3 below. Poor for mental health. - The number of transitions and turn over have really affected company culture and morale. - Diversity & inclusion continues to be a “priority” but no one has time for it. - Salary could be better for the amount and quality of work expected. - If everyone who left SC in the last year submitted a Glassdoor review, rating would likely be much lower than it stands.

Pros
Talented people who love music
Cons
Nothing to say at this time
