It's like being an overpaid and trendy-haircutted hyena, picking over the final morsels on the carcass of a long dead elephant known as The Music Industry.

It's a pretty open-ended question, so it's difficult to give a precise answer. It's a larger company these days, so I'm sure you'll find different answers. I've been at the company for some time and I personally enjoy it a lot. High degree of autonomy to solve problems, good company culture, great teammates etc. If I were to find an area of improvement, it's around finding the balance of alignment and getting stuff done across org boundaries.

Feel free to reach out if you have more specific areas you want to know more of.

Hey I saw that you work at Spotify which I think is pretty cool I love music, I’m graduating this may in CS and was wondering if you know of any opportunities I should go for. Cheers!
