I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Spotify
Interview
Recruiter emailed me to schedule a call based on his availability with a calendly link. I’ve scheduled according to the recruiter’s availability. Waited for 30 mins for the call at the scheduled time but haven’t received a call. When I emailed the recruiter about the same, he said sorry and asked to reschedule. I did the same and reacheduled accordingly but this time the recruiter again didn’t show up nor responded to my email. Very worse behavior and unprofessional behavior from such a big company.

The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Spotify (Berlin)
Interview
The recruiter asked me why I have a gap year, and how/why I changed countries. I told her because I wanted to advance on my career, learn a new language... And also that my partner got an offer abroad. Her face ~ changed ~. She didn't mention anything about code challenge or anything.
Of course, I was rejected. We all know the reason.
