A great place for working less than 40 hours and sometimes having cool projects.
Terrible direction from middle management and no career growth beyond IC roles.
Can anyone share the salary of Spotify developer in Sweden ? How does the 6 months **full paid** maternity leave works? I got a baby that born before I join Spotify (now is <; 3 years old), does this policy still apply to me? Any caveats of this policy?
On LinkedIn, I've seen a lot of folks joining Spotify, even with all these layoff posts. If anyone works there, how is internal culture, compensation, and career growth?

I have been invited to interview with Spotify for an MLE role. Does anyone who works there can shed some light on the quality of ML work? Specially, how do you think of your peers - do they have sufficient ML knowledge or are the mostly SWE/SRE who have ramped up to ML? How deep are the solutions in...Read more
My friend told me at Spotify you don't get full value of your rsu, but only get the net profit of the granted rsu overtimes. For example you are granted 100 rsu at $1 dollar each stock, after it is fully vested, and the current price of the stock is at $1.50, you only get the profit of the stock ch...Read more
Deciding between Apple and Spotify. Comp is nearly the same (~420k). Currently based in EMEA, but have a recently approved H1B via Twitter which allows me to move. Spotify is a Staff role, whereas Apple is ICT4 in an ML team (not Siri). Seems like Spotify scope would be much better - title bump as...Read more
