I was contacted by a Spotify recruiter and shortly after, we had our first conversation on Skype, where I walked through my background and shared my experience with Spotify.

We then scheduled a one-hour technical Skype interview during which we discussed several technical subjects related to my experience (no CS puzzles or brain teasers were asked).

Following that, I was given a coding assignment in Python, which took me a number of days to complete.

After that, I was invited for an on-site interview and went to Stockholm, where I had four one-hour meetings and a lunch with the team. We started at 10 AM, and by 3 PM sharp, we were done and I was out. All questions asked were professional and highly relevant to my experience with building CI/CD systems in the past. We discussed no CS materials.

Shortly after coming home, I received an email with an offer. The whole process took about 2 months, but that involved various vacations in between. Overall, my interviewing experience with Spotify was highly positive. Both the recruiter and my hiring manager were very responsive and helpful. The people I met in Stockholm were super-friendly and helpful as well.
