I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Spotify (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Mar 2018
Interview
HR wrote me in LinkedIn. And we scheduled our conversation and he didn't give me any information about the interview. I thought that it should was the sync call but it was the interview. We discussed my experience and after he started ask questions. It was my fault that I stated answer on they.... Questions were easy but I wasn't ready to it.

The process was great overall. I met nice people from the team and felt like the interviews were nicely conducted.
The virtual onsite consists on:
1. Behavioral
2. Android
3. DSA
4. System Design
I believe the interviews went well except for the Android one where I lost lots of time on arch when they seemed most interested on solving app functionality part. So, if you have interviews scheduled for Android, run for the juicy part. I'd personally conduct that type of interview differently.

Interview
A recruiter reached me through Linked In, for an opportunity in Stockholm. I set a calendar appointment and also sent a private message to ask more details about the proccess. Never got a response.Nevetheless, the date of the appointment reached ( Google Meet Room) and I enter the specified room with the correct code and the recruiter never let me join our meeting . I tried another three times. Waited half an hour and then I closed the application. The calendar was no longer availble ,so I wasn't able to rescedule the appointment from the attached link. Don't know what happened , but i would be nice if I had a heads up . If she couldn't make it, she should have reached me to find a solution . I got a day off from my work for nothing.
