Applied online, received an invitation for a phone interview very quickly. Unfortunately, the initial time for the interview was not convenient for me, so I offered to reschedule. Received an initial positive response to rescheduling, then no contact at all. After three unanswered e-mails over the next week I gave up.
Some weeks later, I received an automated invitation to give feedback on the interview process, I detailed all the above problems with lack of communication (even clarifying I would still be interested in interviewing), and received no contact back.

Other Software Engineer (Backend) interview reviews for Spotify
Was reached out by recruiter after cold apply. Interviewer asked basic questions to know the background as initial screening step, but didnt proceed to next steps after cancelling the scheduled interviews. suspect its bc visa issues
In overall, it was a positive experience. Everybody's nice there. I like every step and challenge.
Everybody was supportive and well informed about the whole interview process which was really long.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify (New York, NY) in Dec 2021
Interview
1) 15min recruiter screening. The recruiter was nice but seem to be in a rush the whole time.
2) 1hr screening with a senior engineer and one person shadowing. The question was pretty easy and dealt with implementing a cache using a language of your choice. The interviewer was super nice and pleasant to work with. He seemed to know a lot and care about D&I.
2 weeks later I asked for a follow up and the recruiter told me the position was closed. Bruh. A waste of my time.

Question 1
Something along the lines of implement a cache.
And a bunch of general questions regarding CS concepts that you either know it or don't. (It won't be hard if you have a CS degree or experience with SWE),
