I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
20 minutes phone call from a recruiter, then said she would check with the hiring manager and get back to me to schedule the next interview. Didn't get back to me on time, when I pinged her, asked for a few more days, and then stopped responding to emails
I see from other reviews that ghosting candidates is common practice at Spotify, wonder what it implies about their attitude towards employees....

Interview
Spoke with a recruiter, was ghosted after the interview. He asked all the standard questions - why Spotify, expected level, salary expectation, what are the priorities, why left previous company, etc.

I applied online. I interviewed at Spotify in Dec 2025
Interview
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.
