Pros

+ impressive growth opportunities: continuously improving inhouse-trainings; learning mindset (seeing occassional failure/errors as an opportunity to learn instead of playing the blame-game); great support of individual development + creative leeway and development of one's own position: in case motivated to do so, there are no boundaries to bring up and push forward your own ideas of improvement and shape what work is done and how it is done, the smartest idea wins; as the company grows, there are great opportunities to develop your own professional role + diversity & valuing diversity: very international employees from many different backgrounds lead to diverse perspectives, from which one can learn; diversity is valued and open-minded collaboration the standard work mode + great company culture: the working environment is fantastic (inclusion of employees in company decisions/development, spirit among employees, feedback culture, company events)

Cons

- applicable vision & strategy: more applicable vision and strategy are still work-in-progress; currently I'd see the major challenge in how company vision & strategy can be used to derive/affect functional strategies - salaries: salaries seem to be below average for a given position; however, one may use his/her creative leeway and growth opportunities to reach better levels through developing into a better position

Pros

Excellent product, excellent colleagues - both best in the industry. The work can be enjoyable, and there is cultural cache to the brand which carries a lot of value when networking. Working on cool music stuff is rewarding (for a while) and creates a sense of pride.

Cons

The company has a unique culture that may not be for everyone, with a distinct leadership style and management structure. At times, there seems to be a misalignment in priorities between different departments, such as product development and commerce, as well as sales and marketing. The leadership team tends to maintain a consistent approach to decision-making, which some might view as resistant to more diverse perspectives. While the company strives for excellence and the employees often deliver outstanding work, compensation may not always reflect industry-leading standards, especially in light of inflation over the past few years. Although the company offers competitive benefits, some employees may feel that compensation has not kept pace with the increased cost of living. The leadership encourages a sense of gratitude for the opportunities and benefits provided, though the current economic climate and competitive job market have created a challenging environment for employees seeking more equitable compensation.
