Web Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had an HR screening call followed by a technical interview. Unfortunately, I did not advance past the technical interview.

The HR screen was very brief, lasting about five minutes. We discussed my background and skillset, and then I was moved on to the technical interview. There was no opportunity to ask the recruiter questions. Afterward, the recruiter provided helpful information to prepare for the technical interview.

Scheduling the technical interview proved to be a frustrating experience due to Spotify's hiring and scheduling software. If you use Gmail's Promotions inbox filtering, their emails may be diverted there instead of your main inbox.

The technical interview was a live coding session with an engineer. First, we discussed my background, skills, and some projects I've worked on. Then, we went through some web domain-specific questions. Finally, we dove into a coding problem. I was given a mockup of two buttons and asked to recreate it in HTML/CSS. I believe there may also have been a JavaScript-based coding question, but I cannot recall the specifics.
