Spotify Data Scientist interview: five-week wait for feedback

Spotify·Data Scientist·Reported May 2026

My process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical round with two MLEs. That part was focused and direct. The final step was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager.

It took about five weeks to hear back. They still came back with feedback after making a decision, which made the wait feel less abrupt than I expected.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
