Process
I was contacted by an in-house recruiter after applying to a position on the Spotify website.
The recruiter asked about my work experience, programming languages, and other technical knowledge. They also answered several questions about company culture and organization.
A week later, I had a video interview with two engineers. They asked various questions about PHP and JavaScript programming, as well as a few questions about CSS, HTML, and other web-based programming experiences. There was also a live coding component using a Google Doc.
I didn't hear back from the organization after the interview, although I don't think I was a good fit for the role.
Questions
Various PHP and JavaScript programming questions, including both verbal and live coding exercises.
