Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Worst interview process. Be careful if you consider going for an onsite. They don't reimburse your expenses if you are not offered a job, and they don't even have the minimum courtesy to let you know the status.
Questions
Whatever they wanted to ask, without considering the skills stated on your resume.

Great people, great culture
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Spotify really cares about maintaining an honest and respectful company culture, and it shows in their hiring practices, work expectations, and benefits. Awesome place to work if you love music.
Cons: It definitely feels like they're not sure where to go next. They've got a great music streaming app, but it's hard to see what the next steps are, and that "fog" can be felt in the day-to-day development cycle sometimes.

Boston location is near lots of food and shopping.
Free food, free snacks, free soda.
Working with the brightest people in the tech industry.
Progressive company that truly means it when they say they strive for diversity and inclusion.
Office has music playing at all times. It was one of the best parts about the Boston office: the democratized music-playing robot!
Cons: Not really a con, but Swedish culture can be difficult for people who are from a traditional American style of leadership.
