      Senior Product Manager Interview

      10 Mar 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Spotify in Jan 2019

      Interview

      Personality/IQ test online, CV screening + PM general questions, second HR screening, group interview with 3 potential future colleagues (Designer, Engineer, Agile Coach). The process is extremely long, with sometimes no answer during one month between two rounds. The first online test seems not really relevant for this type of position. And it's possible to find/buy the answer online, I was really surprised that Spotify uses such a tool. Each individual interview was a good experience, but the time it takes to do the complete process is really frustrating. It could/should have take 2-3 weeks to see that my profile was not technical enough for the position.

      Senior Product Manager Interview

      11 Oct 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify in Sept 2023

      Interview

      Interview Rounds: + Recruiter screen (60-mins) + Hiring manager (60-mins, behavioral) + Recruiter final round prep call (30-mins) + Product Strategy & Impact (60-mins, behavioral) + Leadership & Values (60-mins, behavioral) + Collaboration w/Eng./Insights/Design (60-mins, behavioral) + "Tech Interview" (60-mins, behavioral, some diagraming) Calendar Days Elapsed: + Application to recruiter screen: 15 days + Recruiter screen to hiring manager interview: 3 days + Hiring manager to final round: 13 days + Final round to decision: 19 days Notes: Recruiting process was choppy throughout. The recruiter that met with me for the final interview prep opened by telling me they don't work on Product roles and were covering for someone else. The recruiter then added that they didn't know anything about the hiring process for Product that wasn't already shared with me. Bit of a waste of time. Communication on timelines was average. The recruiter wasn't able to tell me whether there was a technical case (none was indicated on the schedule). There wasn't, however the "tech interview" did set aside about 5-minutes to diagram a product I had worked on and the tech stack for the product. This was done on the fly using a web-based whiteboard. Not enough time to really do it and it felt like they had intended to leave more than 5-minutes for this part. Each round had 1-2 panelists. The questions were mostly structured/behavioral/from a question bank related to the interview topic. However, there were interviewers in the process that refused to use the provided questions; in both cases the interviewer hadn't prepared their own questions in advance and rambled about a bit. This made it very difficult to understand what they were trying to ask. Don't be hesitant to drill down with clarifying questions if you find yourself in a similar situation. Everyone was pleasant. Culture seemed positive. Panelists were very transparent at the end of interviews when asked about current hiring trends, internal mobility, result of RIFs earlier this year, and norms for how the team worked together and the biggest challenges they were facing.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      Had a great call with the recruiter and he felt I was a good fit and was moving me to the next step to meet with the hiring manager. I followed up twice and never heard back. Seems like ghosting is a common practice in recruiting here. No thanks
