Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Spotify (Stoccolma, ) nel mese di apr 2021
Colloquio
I applied thought their site and got an email from recruiter 1 month later scheduling a 30 min chat about the position and my background. Later a hiring manager schedule a second round interview (technical).
The main interviewer was very "robotic" and made me feel uncomfortable during the whole process. Some technical questions where asked and then they gave me a code challenge (leetcode easy-medium).
The challenge wasn't hard, but I was expecting more of a pairing to feel what is like to work with them in a daily basis. Also I'm really against some type of questions asked in that kind of process (like, do I REALLY have to know by heart the difference between TCP and UDP to do a good job as a software engineer?).
I lost my will to work there after this interview. People didn't seem very nice to work with and I think that their approach to evaluate candidates is too old-fashioned .

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.
