Pandora Media, LLC Reviews

Pros

Really good work life balance, great snacks, work from home flexibility, summer Friday's, lots of activities

Cons

Job itself can get a little boring and isn’t very challenging

Pros

Great benefits, pretty decent work life balance when you know what you're doing, and awesome people

Cons

Favoritism runs rampant in some departments, Cliques form like in High School and can be pretty immature and unprofessional in certain circumstances

Pros

Benefits, food all the time, music artist, relaxed dress code

Cons

-Everyone isnt treated or paid equally especially if you arent the right race or gender. -Alot of favoritism is given with no explanation to the point it can come down to your raise and your coworker gets a raise over you and you both do the exact same job, but when asked what happened , well the manager cant explain it because they havent been managing you long enough to give you feedback or a reason why but yet they dont feel like you deserve a raise for a years worth of work. -very unorganized -micromanaging -bullying -managers talk about each other and have no respect for each other - job titles - you are on a lower level if you dont have a certain title- consultant, manager, analyst etc or even if you are hourly - can be cliquish at times - we are working towards an unexplainable unaccomplishible goals and resources are taken - morale is low with for the last couple years of layoffs and especially with the new CEO and SiriusXM buyout - it's a revolving door - stock is low

Pros

Loved working here ; people are amazing!

Cons

Compensation is lower than other tech companies

Pros

* snacks * great wfh policy * if you are good with politics, nepotism, and throwing people under a bus, you've found your place

Cons

* the culture is really just toxic. i've heard and seen people cry there too often in staircases. * eng teams aren't motivated to develop and work on new products. they're not even motivated to fix tech debt. just change the name of the team/project and the tech debt goes away. magic. * a lot of finger pointing from team to team that instead of focusing on a product to build, people focus more on finger pointing and getting validating for themselves * people there are so negative having been in such a toxic culture for so long, that i'v seen team members gang up on new employees. the new employees are just waiting until the one year vest period, if they can wait that long. * product hasn't really improved or innovated in the last 5 years. it couldn't keep up with spotify before the siriusXM acquisition, now they don't even bother now. * there's more internal passive-aggressive argument between managers, directors, and leaders that there's no need to solve any company issues. duct tape and bubble gum.

Pros

Very exciting times with lots of energy in the office pre-IPO

Cons

company culture took 180-turn after changes to E-team.

Pros

talented team, high emotional intelligence

Cons

slow to innovate, lots of red tape with SXM acquisition

Pros

Training and resources galore. Highly intelligent people.

Cons

New Sirius XM ownership has changed some of Pandora's culture. Too soon to tell if it's for the better.
