I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Spotify in Jan 2016
Interview
Sounds like I had a very similar experience as other people who had applied for this position. I had applied via an employee referral in the fall and didn't hear anything until late January. When I was contacted for the phone screen, one of the first things the recruiter said is that they're really looking for someone with an entirely different set of skills from what was laid out in the job description (that they really want a data engineer and not an analyst). Huh?
Needless to say, the interview was a complete waste of my time.
4 rounds process, incl. take-home case. Interviews were relatively straightforward with HR, Hiring manager, and Directors in the team. Mix of behavioral and technical questions. Take-home case was quite time consuming but very relevant for the role (recieve data set with a case question - expected to build a financial model and short presentation deck)
Interview was with HR. A very unpleasant experience: 1) The Interviewer was late and no apology was given. 2) No pleasantries or how are you, just straight into the robotic questioning. 3) HR said that if I had any questions I should email, I had to ask if I could ask questions during the call. Worst interview experience I have had. The HR interviewer shouldn't be vetting candidates as it gives a bad impression of Spotify.
Interview was okay, interviewers were patient and friendly and they took the effort to learn more about the candidate by asking the right questions. Not many stressful questions were asked.
