Pros

Hanging out with musicians and rock bands Cool "Spotify" brand vibe and the OMG, you work at Spotify delight

Cons

1. Low bar on leadership. All APAC leaders have a low bar starting with Gautam Talwar, the GM - who is unimpressive and mediocre, at best. Have you heard him speak? 2. Poor pay and increments 3. Promotions only a concept for senior folks who play politics well 4. No innovation happening at Spotify, Asia
