J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Spotify en janv. 2016
Entretien
I applied in mid-September for the general analyst position. I had given up, until a recruiter contacted me three months later to schedule a phone screen. Yes, Spotify HR is VERY disorganized...... Anyway, I was very excited that I finally got through.
Turns out the phone screen was a complete waste of time. The recruiter asked me a few basic questions, then said they were looking to fill the upper tiers (aka experienced people) whereas I was entry-level. The recruiter said I should check back in a few months to see if there might be a position where I could be a better fit for. Also, the recruiter was very informal and called me 10 minutes before the scheduled time. It was also hard to understand them and s/he spoke way too quickly. It was a mess.
Also, it was frustrating because the position I applied for is supposedly entry level, and I definitely demonstrated excitement and willingness to learn new things. That doesn't matter. This is sadly a company where you will not be considered unless you have ALL the technical skills :( It's too bad.

Question 1
Why Spotify? How does Spotify fit into your career goals?
J'ai passé un entretien chez Spotify (Stockholm, )
Entretien
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.
