That was a standard interview process, which involved initial contact by HR, followed by separate interviews with three distinct team members. Questions focused on assessing experience and cultural fit within the organization.
Very long interview process for a non-tech role. I had 6 interviews, with almost everyone on the whole team before I got a rejection email. Everyone was very nice and professional.

Question 1
Would you be able to work in the office some days?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Spotify
Interview
Initial 20 minute call with someone in HR just to discuss experience, interest, benefits. Second interview was 30 minute video call with a local Head of Editorial, and final interviews were two 30 minute video calls, one with another Editor and one with Head of US Editorial. Final assignment required making example playlists. Entire process lasted over 2.5 months with very little communication in between rounds - I often had to follow up multiple times to even get a response on when I should hear next steps.

Question 1
What playlists do you think are missing from Spotify in this genre? Do you think all playlists decisions should made based on data? What's an accomplishment you're most proud of?
