I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY)
Interview
I applied online. I was invited to a phone interview. Scheduled an initial date. The recruiter had to reschedule the last minute. I never heard back from her. So I followed up and got an automatic out-of-office response. Then she finally got back to me. The night before the phone screen, she reached out and said that they found another candidate. So essentially, their recruiting team rescheduled and cancelled on me twice last minute.
I love Spotify as a company. I use the product. This makes me want to puke. I was a recruiter myself. I am proud to say I have never done something so disorganized and unprofessional to a candidate. Please stop wasting candidates time and get your acts together.
I thought Spotify had one of the best recruiting teams and practices...I guess not. Very glad I did not end up working with such team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify in Jan 2026
Interview
I didn’t get the role, but I genuinely enjoyed the interview process. Everyone was welcoming and professional. The questions were thoughtful, and the process felt smooth, well-coordinated, and respectful throughout.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify in Oct 2024
Interview
Fairly standard interview process. The 4-5 rounds I had were pretty good and I feel all the interviewers were engaged. Didn't get any feedback at all on how I performed which considering the prep and time sunk into the interview process and the fact I was headhunted was pretty disappointing.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Spotify (London, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
Interviews were really smooth, and everyone I met was thoughtful, curious and excited about their work and the opportunity.
Process consisted of 4 rounds, first with a member of the TA team, then meetings with various stakeholders related to the position.
