We are a technology company by design, a music company at heart. Our employees value the company mission statement and music is a huge part of what we do and why we do it. We love our jobs and the opportunity to bring music to everyone, everywhere.
The culture at Spotify is like something I have never experienced before. Senior leadership is so transparent and provides timely communication on all key strategies. People truly love coming to work here and we have an amazing social team who plans parties, events, panels, and networking opportunities. You are truly valued here.
The atmosphere is really nice and inviting - the associates are friendly and so much fun. Great place to work.
It's like College but for professionals.
Very playful culture, with lots of music and concerts at the office. With flat hierarchies and a fast paced environment, with lots of challenges and engaging activities (e.g. we have something called intro days where all new joiners get to fly to Stockholm to meet the lead team as well as other new spotifiers from around the world).
Culture is transparent, respectful, collaborative, inclusive, exciting, passionate, fun!
Less internal politics would be nice. As we're growing, we tend to be more siloed and we see examples of protectionistic behavior.
Amazing and they put a lot of time and resources on social events to create a sense of belonging.
Playful culture with a lot of respect. Always with great ambitions.
Sometimes we get stuck in wanting to work with quality, but at the same time, we should have lots of speed and get things out of the door.
It is an open and friendly environment. There is a lot of room for people to influence their work and collaboration is one of our key values.
It is a good place if you want to grow as an individual but also in your professional career, I usually say to people "that the only thing that stop you and your growth at Spotify is yourself".
Company culture is collaborative, innovative, passionate, sincere, and playful.
Never boring, great people, changing the world.
Culture is very flexible, working hours is not really an issue, you can adapt easily to your lifestyle. You are given a lot of trust, ownership and autonomy. It is very transparent, we always know the plan and what is going on in the company. The Lead team is more present and addresses the whole company quite often (in town halls) and they do Q&A which is fantastic.
I've had many employers over the years and Spotify has gotten it right. I frequently hear my colleagues used the words "grateful, appreciative, blessed" to work in this type of environment.
The environment at Spotify is truly like any other company I've ever worked before. Passionate, motivated, entrepreneurial- minded professionals that care about the work they are doing and the company overall. Kindness matters here, people go out of their way to help co-workers and there are many employee resource groups dedicated to diversity or outside volunteering. There are ways to advance ourselves personally and professionally. Greenhouse is our dedicated learning & development team offering courses on leadership, manager 101, driving your career, having a growth mindset and sustainable productivity. Personally, we have team building activities like an upcoming trip to see the northern lights in Sweden, wine & cheese tastings, weekly meditation and yoga to volunteering/tutoring offered to students in nearby high schools. There are so many ways to be involved here at Spotify and opportunities to participate in each one!
Open. Inclusive. Welcoming and supporting. We have fun while doing great work, people enjoy their job and are proud about everything we do for the society.
Best tip I'd give to a new hire is to respect everyone, the ones you like and the ones you don't, at work and outside work.
We are a very fast paced company with constant change so sometimes that can be a juggling act, but overall it leads to the success of the company and installs an innovative company culture.
