Engineering Leader Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I had an initial screen with the recruiter.
Then, one hour of video call with the hiring manager, where they probed me about my background in engineering, leadership, and delivery.
I was told someone would get back to me in a few days, but I have been ghosted.
I tried reaching out to the recruiter over email and LinkedIn a few times, but received no response whatsoever.
Spotify talks the good talk with a great culture at the company, but this interview experience makes me wonder.
