I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Spotify (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
1. Call with recruiter, super basic weeding tech questions
2. Email back and forth to setup interview
3. Video interview with trivia, coding test and code review
4. Emails again with setting up onsite
5. Onsite interview with 'experiences (not techincal', 'show & tell' about a project I've done, lunch and whiteboard interview.
6. Getting feedback
All in all the process was very nice. The steps were quite clearly laid out, and I got feedback after the whole thing detailed to each interview. I'd have loved to get more details, but it was good regardless.
Took some time, but they were happy to work with my schedule.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Spotify in Mar 2017
Interview
4 rounds of interview.
1st - Technical round. Question mostly on Android. Concepts like RxAndroid, Retrofit, etc were touched upon.
2nd. - Round related to Spotify values.
3rd. Whiteboarding round. A coding question was given and was expected to provide optimal solution
Interview was chilled out and helps you in the process.
4th - Show and tell. Show the apps you have built and questions on it.

I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY) in Jun 2013
Interview
First I had to a phone screen where we discussed several questions about Objective C: memory management KVO, KVC, Core Data...
If you pass this interview, they will bring you on site and you will have a series of interviews (4 for me). 3 of them were engineering related, with whiteboard coding problems.
The current office is pretty crowded and everything looked a little messy, but they told me they are about to move to their new shiny office, so I expect that to change soon enough.

Question 1
They asked typical BS questions, like LCS in a binary search tree and in a regular binary tree and other search related problems. Also expect some design/architect questions.
