I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Mar 2018
Interview
I was fairly quickly rejected for the Product Manager role that I applied for, however, they were kind enough to call me up and try to see if there was something else that fit me. We had a 40 minute conversation on Google Hangouts, she shortlisted me for a more junior role and ask me to reach out if that role happened to pop up. Overall, they were professional, but I could tell that they are overloaded with work. They have a lot of people applying for their roles, so it is understandable that they cannot respond to all inquiries.
3 rounds. Phone screen with recruiter, convo with hiring manager, final round was 3 additional conversations with the team. Questions centered on previous experience, working with data, product strategy, etc.
It was good, for the period while it lasted. The main kicker though, was that they closed the role right in the middle of my interview process without communicating why.
Structured and professional. Assessments were tough but fair, making sure you could translate needs into features which drive product roadmaps and established milestones to measure against. Recruiters were flighty and like any big company they rely on their brand to have you want them
