      Data Scientist Interview

      5 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Stockholm, Stockholm
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Spotify (Stockholm, Stockholm)

      Interview

      Very chaotic. Five months between recruiter first contact and process end, with multiple recruiters involved. I declined when first offered to proceed, but then got a mail saying I had been accepted to the next step. Got a test which seemed fun, so I did it, but then never got any feedback. Confused mails where exchanged. It was always unclear about where I was in the process, which position we were really discussing (there were multiple and I asked several times for descriptions but never got one). I was in interview process with Google at the same time, and the difference was huge. With Google I knew exactly what was going on, who I was talking to, what the next step was and how to prepare for it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Got an open exercise with a dataset, and was free to analyse and present any findings in any way I wanted.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify

      Interview

      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.
