Process
The interview process consisted of:
- A phone screen with a recruiter.
- A 75-minute technical screen via CoderPad.
- A 5-hour onsite interview covering programming, web domain, values, and system design.
The interviewers were kind, and the questions asked were not difficult. I wasn't given any LeetCode-style questions in any of the interviews; expect more practical, everyday coding problems.

Great people, good opportunities, mediocre technology

Pros: Spotify feels motivated, yet more casual than other similar companies I've worked at. I consider my coworkers my friends, and there's a great work-life balance.
There's opportunity for technical growth and leadership if you're assertive. In my experience, hack weeks and days are actually real and not too hard to schedule in.
Cons: Mediocre benefits compared to competitors.
Mediocre technical stack with a lot of technical debt, although we are improving in this area.
Highly autonomous teams can lead to poor design.
Performance and compensation review process is poorly defined and hard to fathom.
A lot of the less experienced technical staff drink the company Kool-Aid and do not see its shortcomings.
