Spotify Web Engineer interview questions

The people who actually interviewed me were great, but the recruiters were awful. I was definitely over promised what my options would be after the process was done. They also ignored a request to move a call regarding the final round process a few hours earlier, and instead called me at the worst possible time, though I still felt obligated to answer. My rejection email was sent by a totally different recruiter who I had no previous contact with, and though it ended with “If you’d like more feedback from me, please do get in touch” my response was of course completely ignored so I have no idea what happened.

I had an HR screening call and then a technical interview. I did not move on past the technical interview. The HR screen was very short, about 5 minutes. We discussed my background and skillset and then I was moved on to the technical interview. There was not an opportunity to ask questions to the recruiter. Afterwards, the recruiter provided a lot of information to prep for the technical interview, which was helpful. Scheduling the technical interview was a frustrating experience with Spotify's hiring and scheduling software. If you use Gmail's Promotions inbox filtering, their emails will go there instead of your main inbox. The technical interview was a live coding interview with an engineer. First we discussed my background, skills, and some projects I've worked on. Then, we went through some web domain-specific questions. Then, we dove into a coding problem. I was given a mockup of two buttons and asked to recreate it in HTML/CSS. I think there may also have been a Javascript-based coding question, but cannot remember the specifics.
