      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      Nov 21, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Spotify in Nov 2022

      Interview

      First of all - the most unnecessarily long interview process given how redundant it was that lasted a total of 60 days. I do not recommend it for anyone. Recruiter call Tech screen - SQL/Python Hiring Manager Interview Take home project presentation Final Round - 4 interviews While the data scientists I met with were very nice, the recruitment team is an absolute dysfunctional mess. It was very difficult to get in contact with them. 3 of the 4 final interviews were identical. All of the same questions were asked as if they were reading from a script. Maybe condense that down to one interview in the future. One of my final interviews had to be rescheduled for a week after the originally scheduled final round. At that point (after 7 interviews) they should have had some idea but I ended up waiting a week anyway for the last one to be rejected right after. No feedback was given. I have never left a review before but it was so awful I felt compelled to try and save somebody from my experience.
