I received an email from a Spotify headhunter who invited me to a phone interview. In the interview, they asked me some questions about soft skills and the tech stack I use. After that, they sent a technical interview request. I interviewed with two Spotify engineers via video call.

At first, you introduce yourself and explain your current role. Then, you need to describe a recent project. They asked both product and technical questions about that project. They also asked some data structure and Java-specific questions. At the end of the call, they give you a problem and you write code in a shared IDE, where they can make comments or ask further questions about your solution.

I passed that step and they invited me to Stockholm for an in-person "side-by-side" interview. There were four sessions:

1. Coding interview: Similar to the previous step.
2. Culture interview: They mostly asked case studies and assessed my soft skills in solving these issues.
3. Simulate a production environment case: You try to debug an issue, with help from a site reliability engineer.
4. System design interview: They give you a task to design a system (a web application from scratch) to understand how you select the proper tech stack and measure system requirements.

Ultimately, I didn't receive an offer, but it was a valuable experience. In each step, the engineers and HR were very helpful.

Why don't you use dig in that case?
