Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you launch Spotify in sub-saharan Africa.
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
