Software Development Engineer In Test Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
The interview process involved:
- Online Spotify Candidate test
- Initial call with recruiter
- 1-hour Skype interview with the manager and another QA engineer
- Take-home assignment (estimated 3-4 hours)
I was given a take-home assignment to complete over the weekend, with the instruction that it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours.
After submitting it, I had to follow up a week later. I received a rejection letter with feedback. However, what was requested from me seemed quite different from what they expected, based on their feedback. I suppose some things get lost in translation (I am from the US, and the team was in Stockholm).
I did not gain much from this experience, but I did waste a few hours.
