Spotify Employee Reviews about "free food"

Pros

Nice office in the central part of the city. Free food (a lot to choose from). Good colleagues. The tech-stack was also good.

Cons

Feels disorganized, felt like they reorganized often and new people came and went, however this was during their IPO so might be expected.

Pros

Great Medical Benefits and perks like a food debit card!

Cons

There are definitely too many meetings.

Pros

The pros are endless: Fridges full of food/drinks/ice creams and lots of free snacks/pastries/cupcakes/cereals/porridges and everything you can think of ordering form tesco - free of course. Then you get free restaurant deliveries were you can order endless foods depending what is setup for deliveries that week. Their SWAT team organise events like paint balling and go karting as well as free cinema nights out to see new movies. They are also open to suggestions if you have something in mind you want to do. FREE trips around the world to other spotify offices such as america/sweden/philippines. We even met Daniel Ek in SWEDEN. breaks any time you want them with a 1 hour lunch - no asking a manager if you can go on break. decent pay you get a free macbook pro when you start with your own locker. 13' only though really helpful people who are always willing to help with emails you do not have to deal with customer on the phone very often as it is all email based full kitchen with microwave and blender as well as table tennis with a ps4/xbox to play with on your breaks lots of discounts in stores around cambridge for spotify employees

Cons

there are cons. no parking any time you want. there is a parking rota that you have to be on and you are rarely on it. sucks if you live far away like me as you have to find parking on the streets and risk tickets some days no more hiring of perm employees so you work for an agency who can fire you within a second notice. this will never change. perm employees get free premium and temps will never get it night shifts - this is support for the outsourcing team who need help with cases and have much less access to change things for customers - they SUCK the office is not that great - everything is always broken and never fixed

Pros

Free food and beer in the US offices

Cons

Lacks technical focus. Not a place to grow as a technical contributor. Will teach you all you need to know about PC culture.

Pros

Free food is a great perk!

Cons

Too big to be nimble

Pros

Free food daily Flexible hours though it seems some take advantage of that when their superiors are out of the office

Cons

If you work in the finance department, specifically Accounts Payable, it's disorganized without much structure. AP is heavily micro managed and you are not allowed to utilize your own experience and personality to achieve the common goal. You are expected to come in and very quickly make an impact without first learning how they run their business and/or going through the knowledge transfer process. Unreasonable expectations, ineffective leadership and reluctant assistance from within the department.

Pros

take care of people and great food

Cons

with so many different areas the spotify culture can get warped by bad apples

Pros

- Free food (and that's about it!)

Cons

- Teams are super disorganized (across the board) - Management is very inexperienced - Culture of fear (do what I say or I'll tell your boss) - Pay is horrible - If you're not a manager/lead, you will have zero autonomy - The amount of internal politics is insane - Zero diversity (although you will hear that they care about it. No. They do not)

Pros

-great work/life balance -top engineering teams -competitive salary -free food and drinks

Cons

-frankly, I can't think of any downsides
