I have been looking at the Spotify careers page for the last few months and have not seen many SWE roles. Are they currently under a hiring freeze? Any idea when new positions will be posted?
Pretty much. All external hiring is on pause unless super business critical. They are asking hiring managers to prioritize internal mobility
Any indication of this improving any time soon? Such a shame, Spotify is currently the only company I am currently interested in joining.
From what I've seen, it'll get worse before it'll get better
All positions are on hold. Promotions? Also on ice. The travel budget? Vanished. My advice? Keep your distance!

On hindsight, this post says so much
Funnily enough, I check their careers site regularly for openings. This morning I was surprised to see there were 0 positions listed, usually there are at least some non tech roles, shrugged it off as them removing all listings until the new year, then later heard the news 😔
I knew they super overhired last 2 years
How do you know this
