Two rounds with managers, mostly behavioral questions, positive experience in general and were relatively responsive throughout the interview. I thought the first round was a little harder than the second because the manager didn't show much emotions, but enjoyed my second interview.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY) in Apr 2023
Interview
I received an automated message from the recruiter to book the interview. The interviewer was the supervisor of the position and set situational questions like how would I design a study for Spotify. My answer was more oriented to data analysis rather than a qualitative approach. In that moment, the interviewer told me I was not a good fit for the position, although non of this was described in the job posting. I was not accepted and the email was explicit about not contacting neither Spotify nor the interviewer for the reasons, which is a shame for personal learning.
PROS: The interviewer was open to share their career experience.
CONS: I felt that the interviewer was in a rush, and took 10 minutes to allow me to introduce myself, that made me feel uncomfortable from the get go.
