Got an offer from Pandora the base pay is less than150k for a position in Atlanta. I'm less concerned about the TC and more concerned about Pandora as a company...Haven't heard of them since Spotify came into the music industry. What are your thoughts about working for Pandora? I know I'm not coming from FAANG. But a large part of me thinks that AT&T will have better opportunities...Is this view mistaken? Would love to hear from people who are at Pandora about culture and general vibe.
For what role.
Don’t open that box
WLB is very good. Company prospects are ... poor. Everything moves at glacial speed. Lots of uncertainty this year after siriusxm acquisition.
Lots of talent has left/is leaving. WLB is amazing. Still a lot of uncertainty about our future with Sirius. We move very slowly and our product strategy is not convincing. Take it if the pay is good and you want an easy life.
T is not going to have better opportunities for you. Management are all non technical, technical work is 100% pushed to vendors; You wont even be issued a decent pc screen.
The base pay is ~$150k for OP. Not TC. For that TC around $180k, you can rest and vest in Atlanta. I know people who don’t even have that much TC in Bay Area office. What’s your YOE ?
Pandora's culture has definitely changed in the last 5 years...for the worst. I can't speak about the culture in the ATL office as it's newer and dubbed "HQ2". If I were you I would keep shopping around. Unless you want to chill with great WLB.
Don’t come here if you’re looking for actual work to do. The acquisition has been terrible and might I say Sirius seems to have not done their homework before buying Pandora. They don’t know what they’re doing with Pandora - they don’t know how to compete in the software space. If you wanna coast in product though, then come here. Oh and ATL office is quickly replacing everyone from their former OAK HQ, so there’s a positive for ATL.
Since the acquisition no one knows what’s happening. Most of Oakland has been on a hiring freeze. Pay seems good for ATL location but ultimately outlook and morale isn’t great
