Pros

The SoundCloud brand is cool. The employees (outside of the C-suite) are diverse. Good work/life balance.

Cons

SoundCloud underpays compared to other tech companies. You can't attract or keep good employees this way. New leadership came in 2020 and has yet to figure out its footing or give a clear vision of what SoundCloud is. A lot of the initiatives make no sense for a DSP and seem arbitrarily prioritized by upper management. A lot of turnover.
