The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify
Interview
Initial Interview - Brief 15 minute call with technical recruiter asking about background and why do you want to work at Spotify
Round 2 - Virtual interview where you are asked JS/Domain questions (Finding the order of how console logs will be printed based on timeouts and functions etc, what is CSS Specifity) and then a Leet Code question
Round 3 Onsite - 4 hrs in total. 1 hour domain question, 1 hour leet code medium, 1 hour values Interview with hiring manager, and 1 hour systems design Interview. All the interviewers were very friendly people
I did well in domain, solved the leet code portion, and connected well with hiring manager. My systems design was iffy. After a week I received an email from the recruiter that they went with another candidate
The recruiter wasn't very good at keeping communication throughout the interviews. Would constantly email but no response. Asked for feedback after being rejected and was ghosted

Question 1
Leetcode, JS domain questions, using fetch to interact with Spotify API
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify in Sept 2023
Interview
Brief recruiter call, tech screen, 4 final interviews. To prepare review their Leetcode questions and practice vanilla JS skills. Many of my interviewers were engaged, thoughtful and pleasant to work with. The process however was pretty horrible. They cancelled several interviews day of, then rescheduled at a time I had not specified with completely different interviewers for days later. These interviews had much more disinterested interviewers that clearly just wanted it over from the opening hello. In the end they ghosted me for weeks and only gave me a response when I followed up. Also ignored my request for any feedback, but asked me to give them feedback. If you really want to work there it's probably worth doing, but I would be careful if you value your time.

Question 1
build app in vanilla JS, HTML, CSS leetcode top 3 question for Spotify system design of frontend
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Spotify (London, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
Absolute sham of a process. Straightforward process..Recruiter got in touch through a networking site, virtual screening, virtual onsite (technical, behavioural) and recruiter feedback. Didn't have to prepare much. It was all done in one single afternoon. I got positive feedback initially, they were about to release an offer only to be passed around to other recruiters and later the position was closed. I was told to apply for future roles without having to go through the recruitment process again but neither do the recruiters respond to my emails nor do they shortlist my resume.

Question 1
Technical question involved digging deeper into the solution to a coding challenge with time and space complexity analysis.
