Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Spotify (New York, NY) em set. de 2011
Entrevista
Very disorganized. I interviewed for a software engineer position in 2011, meeting with a bunch of people, half of whom thought I was going for a data scientist position. Everyone at this stage was very friendly. This was followed by a Skype meeting with one of the VPs from Stockholm - at this point the Spotify recruiter said I should expect an offer within the next couple of days.
Despite attempts to follow-up, two weeks go by and no response. Just as I was about to give up on the position, they get back to me and tell me that the VP flew into the US and wants to meet with me in person. We arrange that. 15 minutes before the scheduled time, after I had driven an hour to NYC and while I was waiting outside their office, I get an email that says the position has been filled and the interview has been cancelled. Maybe it was an honest mistake, but I came out of it with a pretty poor impression of the company's hiring process.

The interview process was long and drawn out. It took 2.5 months with multiple delays and rearrangements from Spotify side. I can’t fault the actual interviewers, they were very nice and considerate, but the organisation of the process was very messy and disorganised. At the end I received a rejection with no feedback on Christmas Eve.
