Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Spotify (New York, NY) nel mese di feb 2020
Colloquio
The first screening round asks a few basic SQL and Python questions. This was followed by a product + stats screening round that was incredibly easy. All subsequent on-site rounds were very non-technical -- I got asked maybe 1-2 technical questions and a ton of product related questions. I feel like data scientists here are more like product analysts; at least that's the skillset they seem to be screening for.
Everyone I spoke to was nice -- however, the overall experience was marred by the fact that I was ghosted after my on-site interview. Apparently this is a pattern for Spotify.

So, At first it was HR interview, After that a technical interview (SQL and Python - 2 questions each) and a long code of SQL that needed to be explained.
After that. I had an interview with Hiring Manager and a case study in the last round. It had 4 rounds in total.

Colloquio
The hiring manager started the first round interview with "I'm gonna get ahead of this but based on your experience I don't think it's a good fit." Huh?? Then why do the interview in the first place? this wasn't even a referral? They were dismissive the whole interview and I couldn't wait for it to end. Also mentioned the role wouldn't be technical which tells me the JD was misleading. Additionally, the pay is below average for the level of experience they were requiring. Overall, not worth it - especially if the interview would be indicative of management style.
Had a first round interview with a recruiter, questions were about examples of A\B testing, a visualization dashboard, and once we worked on performance metrics. Interview rounds are 5 one online coding, a hiring manager, a case and presentation.
