Spotify Senior Software Developer interview questions

I really hope they give me no offer, because after doing all the on site interview I was feeling like not entering that door and seeing that people again. If they will give me an offer instead then I will have to consider it because of the importance of the company, but not with a joyous hearth. I think this is the problem with interviews with important companies, they have so much hiring power that they pay so little attention to the candidate experience at interviews. The interview was an excruciating 5 hours onsite. No breaks, no stop. Even lunch was with some engineers, that were forced to lunch with me because it's spotify's game and you play it. Some interviewers were nice, but they seemed all to put a large effort not to smile or be welcoming. One started giving bad looks to me as soon as he entered the room and then every question I was asking was answering in an annoyed way. Others were indeed nicer. On the last interview I asked for a break, as I was exhausted, was not given, instead we run out of time and they literally rushed me out of the door. It's an interesting company for sure and maybe if you pass the interview it's even very nice to work at, who knows, but honestly I would not interview there again. I interviewed for Facebook and was a much nicer experience. At this point I'm starting questioning myself if I really want to apply to big companies like this again. I think all in all the interview wasn't particularly difficult, but I was so stressed and pressured that I feel I have underperformed largely. Maybe they want to see if people do perform under pressure and having the luxury of having many good candidates allows for this.

I interviewed for the London studio. Overall, Spotify looks a very good company, with excellent writing on their technical blogs. The interview phases were: 1 assesment test, 1 HR phone interview, 1h30 technical interview with 2 developers, 5 on site interviews including one lunch with the team. Even if the developers seemed nice and smart, I give here a negative review due to two things: process was very slow and there was one particular interviewer who was laughing at my answers and making judgmental comments like when that person asked me what i want to do in the future and I answered "i want to continue working as a developer", the answer was "Really?Aren't you bored already?" or when i described one particular situation , that person started to laugh about my answer which really wasn't funny or meant to be funny. This is in my opinion very UNPROFESSIONAL and really NOT OK., as it can make the candidate feel very uncomfortable. I also think makes the company a bad reputation and not a good image. It never happened to me before to be laughed at during an interview process.
