We have no time for internal politics. We lead with transparency and engage with open minds. Creating something new requires trust so candid feedback delivered with good intent is at the heart of everything we do.

We revel in what we do. We genuinely care about our shared Spotify mission, pushing ourselves to become masters of the part we play. We energize and inspire others around us, knowing that excitement drives innovation.

We recognize that we're all in this together. Everyone is an integral part of the work we do with an equal opportunity to participate - we share ideas and best practices across business units and in spite of traditional hierarchies.

We don't take ourselves too seriously. We connect with each other. We celebrate successes. And just like a real band, we like to jam.

We move fast and take big risks. We cultivate curiosity. We're unafraid to fail, knowing that each mistake contains a valuable lesson and gets us one step closer towards creativity and innovation.
