I interviewed for the London studio. Overall, Spotify looks like a very good company, with excellent writing on their technical blogs.

The interview phases were:

• Assessment test
• HR phone interview
• 1.5-hour technical interview with 2 developers
• 5 on-site interviews, including one lunch with the team.

Even though the developers seemed nice and smart, I am giving a negative review due to two things:

The process was very slow, and there was one particular interviewer who was laughing at my answers and making judgmental comments. For example, when that person asked me what I want to do in the future, and I answered, "I want to continue working as a developer," the response was, "Really? Aren't you bored already?" Or when I described one particular situation, that person started to laugh about my answer, which really wasn't funny or meant to be funny.

This is, in my opinion, very unprofessional and really not okay, as it can make the candidate feel very uncomfortable. I also think it gives the company a bad reputation and not a good image. It has never happened to me before to be laughed at during an interview process.
