Total Compensation and Total Insecurity
|
Spotify was my dream job. The interview process is very competitive. Once you land a role at Spotify, the total compensation package was incredible. Not just salary, but so much vacation, great health benefits, RSUs and cash incentives and grocery stipend - oh my!
My team and colleagues were smart and collaborative and fun. I truly loved every day.
Then I was part of the December 2024 reduction in force. I will likely never find a role as interesting and with such top notch compensation again.
Be wary - if it seems to good to be true, it might be too good to be true.

Great company
|
Great place to work, I enjoyed being there. Sometimes can be a bit hectic especially in busy periods, but overall would recommend being there. People are great, benefits are great.

Great company, poor management, no comradely in a lot of departments.
|
What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits and free food. Unlimited vacation days, great healthcare, generous parental leave
What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management is terrible. Poor leadership, passive aggressiveness all around, discrimination via company culture.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, dog eat dog. No loyalty amongst co-workers and thought leadership is only accepted if coming from a Swedish source/hq in Stockholm. The culture vulturing to appear “woke” is cringey.
What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There is either zero direction or extreme micromanaging, and not much in between. Meetings are held for the sake of just having meetings, and people’s job descriptions do not match what they are asked to do.

Engineer

New York, NY

Low comp, no career growth, poor managers
|
Do not come here if you want to grow as an engineer. Do not believe the LinkedIn hype. They are the best at PR and marketing.
It is considered the lowest compensation for engineers in the industry. There is no annual performance bonus, no stock refreshers, and no annual cost of living increase.
As of August 2023, they no longer encourage climbing the career ladder. The only path to promotion is by waiting for an internal role to open and to apply for the role like other employees. However, they also removed all of the open roles before they launched this new “career enlightenment”.
It is remote, but most people still go to the NY office. Unless you are willing to go into the office, you will not be given impactful work and you will not feel included in your day to day work. You are only able to meet your team once every two years.
There is no technical prowess, and you will become stagnant in your career because you will not be able to learn anything new or be innovative. As an engineer, you are expected to build whatever the designers decide because product knowledge is not strong here. Product managers rely on designers to dictate product direction. You should only come here if you are tired of thinking for yourself, you are ready to retire, and focus on work life balance.

Went downhill
|
It was okay when I joined, but then it went downhill. Too much politics and red tape, not much time spent to work and think of challenging engineering problems.

Good company bad leaders
|
Very good company. The leaders don't have much clue what they are doing. The chase fancy things without thinking whether users want those or not. The pay is not great

Great people, fun projects, but not confident in leadership
|
The people here are great. They aren't selfish, and just want to build the best product. But we often get hampered by our leaders who impose their strong beliefs without explaining their rationale. So it can derail a project and cause a lot confusion on the ground.

Great company overall

Positive and empowering culture and interesting things to work on. Would still be there if not for layoffs. Would not go back though as layoffs were such a shock.

The benefits are amazing, free health insurance. Received equity at signing, food credit every month. They fly all new employees to Sweden to see the headquarters. Just a great job.
