      Senior Full Stack Engineer Interview

      1 Apr 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify in Mar 2022

      Interview

      Interview process started positively recruiter was friendly and moved to the first round. First round was also positive, but the interviewers lacked experience, at one point I had to explain to their senior frontend engineer how scopes work in JS. Then another round with an engineering manager which was the usual behavioural questions. the final round is a 5 hour long interview day and went as follows: System design: a really bad question about uploading playlist cover images so not even a file sharing system or something, the question doesn't have any depth and I felt the interviewers didn't know what a messaging queue is. algo interview: 2 very basic questions in java that you answer on coderpad case study: you will be presented with a network bug that happened at spotify 15 years ago, I didn't understand how a big company like spotify could ask something like that, we are in 2022. last is a behavioural interview: at one point I was asked about how I feel about working in a diverse workplace, the irony is I was interviewed by 12 different people, 11 of which are white and 10 male, so I didn't understand why they would talk about diversity. I got a response a week later saying that it was a tough decision and that they won't be proceeding further with my application, I can assure you the other candidate is white because that would fit their company culture perfectly. long story short if you are white this will be a perfect opportunity for you, if not I suggest to not waste your time.
