Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Spotify (Gothenburg) nel mese di mag 2016
Colloquio
I had one initial video call where we talked in general about Spotify and software. They decided to continue with me and booked a "technical screening" which was another video call with two programmers who asked me to type some code for some very basic problems like reversing a vector, reversing words in a sentence and printing the Fibonacci and other very simple things.
After this we booked a lunch and three meetings with the team. They wanted me to solve some problems like designing a "disk cache", do some pattern matching and some reduction of sentences etc. I solved everything without any issues but somehow I was later evaluated too unstructured and did not get the job.

Colloquio
The interview process was long and drawn out. It took 2.5 months with multiple delays and rearrangements from Spotify side. I can’t fault the actual interviewers, they were very nice and considerate, but the organisation of the process was very messy and disorganised. At the end I received a rejection with no feedback on Christmas Eve.
