Spotify's interview process for entry-level software engineers consists of a comprehensive evaluation spanning 2-5 weeks. It begins with a recruiter screening to assess background fit, followed by a technical phone screen testing coding fundamentals and problem-solving skills. Candidates who advance proceed to an onsite loop consisting of four specialized interviews: live coding, system design, behavioral assessment, and case study exercises. The process emphasizes technical competency, cultural alignment, and practical problem-solving abilities.[1][3][5]
