Process
Super long interview process. I had to poke HR a few times to get the interview booked.
In the final stage (virtual onsite), the feedback was more related to my lack of self-confidence due to my 'nervous' way of speaking, so I was rejected.
When I told HR that I have a stutter, she said she would have contacted the team and the HR manager and gotten back to me. She also said that next time I should say that I stutter so interviewers would be empathetic.
I have no words. It never happened to me to feel this kind of discrimination. Anyway, HR ghosted me after this conversation. Good job Spotify, diversity and inclusion is not something you should be proud of.
