Interview
Applied for a PM role in London. Had a phone interview from someone in New York. She was maybe the worst recruiter I’ve ever been engaged by. She was late by 15 mins, unapologetic, uninterested, and hadn’t even glanced at my CV to know even a little bit of my background. Spotify is/was a dream company, and this experience left me disappointed and down right annoyed. So much so that I didn’t want to progress with the interview stages.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What relevant experience do you bring to the role?
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
