I went through two stages of interviews. The first one with the HR manager felt more like a casual conversation than a scripted screening, which I genuinely enjoyed. The questions were unexpectedly profound, but the interviewer was quite supportive and friendly. The second interview followed a competency-based format with a Senior product manager. While the interviewer seemed less engaged, my overall experience during this stage was fairly neutral. What truly stood out in the interview process was the exceptional feedback I received from the HR manager after not making it to the next stage. The RPM program is incredibly competitive, possibly one of the most competitive in the tech industry, with thousands of applicants from around the world. I greatly appreciate that, even in such a competitive context, the HR manager found the time to schedule a short call and provide me with detailed feedback. This level of attention is remarkable, especially considering that the RPM program is an entry-level program where constructive feedback is essential for professionals starting their careers. While I eventually received a job offer elsewhere, I still remember the Spotify interview experience as the most healthy and professional in my career!
