    Difficult Interview

    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify.

    Interview

    Very unprofessional and unorganized process. The recruiter was not even capable to arrange a pre-screen phone call with me. We exchanged email for the phone call and unfortunately, I had an impromptu meeting that I had to reschedule, I emailed her, she didn't respond my email. Then she called me out of blue at different time with an unknown caller id and left a message said she would call me back another time, then that's it. She never call.....

      The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Spotify (London, England).

      Interview

      It took about 3 weeks before I heard back and was offered a first round interview conducted over google hangouts. This was around 30 minutes long and fairly straight forward consisting of competence base questions focused on current job and management styles. Make sure you have examples ready.

      Interview

      Weird interview cycle...They don't seem to know what they are doing in terms of recruitment. Applied through the website, got an interview scheduled but recruiter did not show up. Contacted again through email couple of weeks later and managed to talk with the recruiter. Another meeting with hiring manager for which i never received the outcome. Checked with recruiter couple of times with no response :) A company with this type of hiring practices is the one that you should be staying away...
