Colloquio
One of Spotify HRs contacted me and invited me to pass an interview.
Soon I was assigned a 1st Skype interview and I talked with him for about 1 hour about my experience and reason for seeking for a new job. At the end of 1st interview I was asked to to solve Spotify puzzles.
After successfully solving them there were 2 Skype interviews. One was through all CS topics you can imagine and another one was about algorithms and data structures.
Afterwards I was invited for an onsite interview. It was a full day interview that consisted from 4 parts and lunch with a team.

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.
