Spotify - Senior SWE - Phone Interview - What to Expect?
I have a 75-minute first round interview for a Senior Fullstack position with Spotify coming up. My recruiter told me to expect some backend domain questions and a typical data structures and algorithm coding exercise. Has anyone done one of these recently? What kind of domain questions to expect? Any DS&A topics to review in particular? Would appreciate any help here. #spotify #recruiting #interview
If you have applied for Full Stack position, expect both CSS and JS questions and coding exercise. If it’s a pure backend position, expect a lot of Java and networking related questions. The questions test the breadth of your knowledge and thus will be easy to answer, but if you find an interesting question, you can go into the depth of it. Questions won’t take much time, 10-15 mins at max. Coding exercise would be 30-40 mins with leetcode easy questions (if you’re lucky), otherwise expect some medium level DS challenges too (think tree and graphs). PS: I told you just because I think this information should be provided by the recruiter themselves.
What might these Java and network questions be specifically about? Should we just review all networking topics and all Java topics?
What are some ways to prepare for these questions?
