Google vs Spotify

How do they compare on things like wlb, culture, backstabbing, etc. I know it's highly team dependent, but overall trend?

Spotify is way better. What kind of work do you do?

How much PTO do you get?

Scarymoose your level is the biggest determinate of which one to pick, if google is leveling you really high go there, at the lower levels you are very much a cog. Spotify is better for a better WLB and more ability to shape your career. Money wise it really depends on how to see the two stocks appreciating.

Google HC gave me L3, apparently just didn't make L4, Spotify is still in process. Sounds like Spotify would be better match. Thanks for all the input!
