Process
The initial 30-minute screening call with the recruiter was to ensure the role was a good fit for both parties.
This was followed by a 1.5-hour technical video interview. The format included questions on experience, "trivia" questions, and two live coding exercises.
The final step was a trip to Stockholm for four further interviews:

Spotify Work Experiences
- 3.0Worse than what they lead you to believeFull Stack Developer • Former EmployeeJanuary 17, 2022Pros: Very modern and flexible work environment. Extra perks like food card and WFH. Shiny MacBook and iPhone upon joining! Company events have high production value. Having Spotify on your resume will open all the doors in the tech industry.Cons: Psychological safety is claimed by this company, but not practiced at the lower levels. Most teams work on projects that are not important and fester with politicking. Highly chaotic company that constantly changes reporting lines. Due to this, your progress towards promotion will be reset basically every year. In-fighting to get high-visibility assignments to put in your promotion packet. Most people who join this company have ego issues. Herd mentality and high collaboration leads to projects moving incredibly slow. Swedish culture can be difficult to digest for some.
