Hi all,

I've been applying without success to user research and UX research jobs at Spotify for a while. Being a musician myself, Spotify is kind of my dream job. I have two years of user experience research in marketing in NYC, a year of consulting experience in London. I am a PhD. in social sciences, specialized mostly in qualitative and mixed-research methods. So I was wondering if anyone could share some info on what user research culture at Spotify is like. Is it mostly quant? Is there any room for qualitative? Do you feel that the research is interesting? Does the strategy and leadership teams listen to the insights you uncover?

Thanks in advance.

    For the sake of future research-related enquiries, I hope someone can answer some of these at some point in the future then.

      I’d recommend finding research threads with researchers from the company you’re looking at and direct message them. Good luck

    • There are sadly approximately 5 researchers on this platform. It's going to be difficult to get insights on work at a specific company. Still following, in case someone pops in who has info to share
