United StatesPosted Sep 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through multiple rounds that started with typical HR, then moved into a coding test that was split between Python fizzbuzz-style tasks and basic SQL.

After the coding stage, I was given a week to complete a case study about what makes a playlist successful.

The case study part culminated in a presentation where I had a four-hour block to walk through my work and then handle additional interviews with members across the team. The timeline communication was supposed to end with feedback the Monday after the final round. I waited an extra week, and then I reached out and was told they’d selected someone else.

After that, I offered availability multiple times for feedback and never got a response, and the silence continued even after
