I’m interviewing for Spotify’s experienced backend engineer role. This is the 1st technical round. I’m based in the US. On Glassdoor, it seems like a lot of candidates who interviewed in Sweden got questions about TCP/UDP, networking, threads/processes, and other non-coding technical questions. For folks who interviewed with Spotify for US-based roles, did you also get these kinds of questions? Or was the 1st technical interview only coding? #spotify #SWE #interview
Recently had an initial round but not for backend roles. It included prog lang and domain knowledge q&a like 15-20 mins. Then 30 mins coding, about LC easy-medium. It was for a Sr Mobile Eng role.
In your case, were the domain knowledge questions specific to mobile?
Yes, Java and Android for my case.
