This interview process was entirely remote.
The first round of interviews with Spotify started with your typical technical phone screen with an engineer. The engineer was courteous and let me work through the problem with only an occasional comment.
The next step was the longer full day virtual "on site" which consisted of 5 interviews (2 algorithm / coding interviews, 1 debugging case study, 1 behavior interview, and 1 system design interview). The process went smoothly with no technical hangups due to it being completely remote. Thankfully the schedule also allowed for some breaks between interviews as well.

The algorithm questions were standard questions involving arrays and strings, nothing too difficult or that couldn't be trained for.
The debugging session was more of a collaborative white boarding session (shared screen on google hangouts) going through a scenario of figuring out why a service was having issues. The engineers running the interview would give a basic outline of the architecture and you would need to ask for more information to get to the bottom of the issue.
The systems design question involved architecting a new feature for uploading photos to playlists.
Was reached out by recruiter after cold apply. Interviewer asked basic questions to know the background as initial screening step, but didnt proceed to next steps after cancelling the scheduled interviews. suspect its bc visa issues

1) 15min recruiter screening. The recruiter was nice but seem to be in a rush the whole time.
2) 1hr screening with a senior engineer and one person shadowing. The question was pretty easy and dealt with implementing a cache using a language of your choice. The interviewer was super nice and pleasant to work with. He seemed to know a lot and care about D&I.
2 weeks later I asked for a follow up and the recruiter told me the position was closed. Bruh. A waste of my time.

Something along the lines of implement a cache.
And a bunch of general questions regarding CS concepts that you either know it or don't. (It won't be hard if you have a CS degree or experience with SWE),
