I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
4 Skype interviews followed by an in person interview that included facilitation of a team retrospective. The in-person interviews included an hour of role playing a few coaching situations. The scenarios selected for the role play were unrealistically negative based on my experience as a coach. The Spotify coach playing the person being coached was encouraged to portray an incredibly hostile employee. It created a very negative experience and made their employees seem unbalanced. The coaches attempted to create a "trick" scenario for the retrospective by not supplying any information about the team being coached even though I requested some background information multiple times before the retrospective.
All of my interviews with the technical staff and leadership at Spotify were very positive. The retrospective was really enjoyable to be a part of. The interactions with the Agile coaches was very hostile and negative. Their approach seemed to be based on the idea that they can identify good coaches by presenting the most negative situations that someone could encounter. By doing so, they created a very negative impression for me of them and their approach to Agile coaching at the company.

I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Apr 2021
Interview
Conversations were good but received no feedback after interview despite follow ups. Found this very disappointing and disrespectful as I was promised an answer not matter what.. was expecting more..
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Spotify
Interview
The interview was cancelled by the recruiter 5 minutes before it was supposed to start.
Very unprofessional!
The recruiter didn't even apologize for this cancellation.
I wasn't expecting to be treated this way by a company such as Spotify.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Jun 2019
Interview
The first interview has been scheduled but the recruiter didn't show up! He asked me to re-schedule it and I did. He did finally show up but didn't apologize for not showing up. He was reluctant to ask questions, did not make eye contact. He just wanted to get over it and was not interested at all. Either he has made up his mind about me before the interview regarding some prejudice or he hates his job and can't hide it. Questions were about hypothetical cases. Nothing special and smart.
I did not hear from him and honestly, don't want to hear from him. there wasn't any sign of professionalism.
