I would not recommend anyone to apply to Spotify Data Science roles. I have interviewed multiple times for various Senior Data Scientist roles within Spotify. They do not have a team matching stage, so you have to restart a interview process every time you apply to a new team - although they might drop a technical interview if you succeeded in a previous one. The overall process takes a lot of time (just like in Google), with recruiter usually not giving you any sort of timeline and ignoring your follow-ups. If you don't succeed to on-site stage, they will ghost you. In one of my pipelines where I have reached an on-site, I had poor experience, especially with a take home assignment - Spotify provide you a dataset and ask you to build slide deck with insights you might extract out of it, without any problem statement. They might provide a 'question' that would be worded like 'Define best performing artist on the platform' but provide you no context on the challenges. The dataset is limited and does not reveal much. Take-home is also not time-limited, so you can really expect to spend from 3 to 16 hours on it without any reimbursement for your time, which is a disgrace for senior roles. On-site interviewers were mostly uninterested in replies, especially during the take-home part. Recruiter has offered to provide feedback after the rejection, but then ghosted me again after multiple follow ups, which tells a lot about their recruitment team.
