Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

January 1, 2018

Process

Flakey recruiters with non-existent response times.

Several recruiters (three to be exact) reached out to me for engineering roles at Spotify within a six-month window. Phone screens went well, and we scheduled follow-ups. However, correspondence halted nearly each time when trying to schedule the next step.

I sent several follow-up emails to continue the process but was met with a wall. Only to then have a follow-up with yet another new recruiter going through the same thing. While I understand this happening once or twice, three times is too many for a "cold shoulder".

If you're lucky enough to get a responsive recruiter, this may be worth your while. However, be warned that you may go through several.

If you're working towards a deadline, either start with Spotify very early on or not at all.
