Spotzer Digital Interview Questions
& Process

The hiring process has a few steps. First, you'll chat with HR about your motivation and background. Then, you'll meet with the hiring manager to see if you're a good fit for the team and the job. Sometimes there's an extra round, depending on the specific position. If everything goes well, you'll get an offer and start with some training before officially beginning the role.

Spotzer's interview process is typically chill and informal. You start with HR reaching out for a quick chat about your background and if you're still interested. Then, there's usually one video interview with the hiring manager or team lead. It's more of a friendly conversation to see if you'd fit the team and how you communicate, not a tough question session. After that, you might hear back pretty quickly with an offer if things go well. The whole thing is quick and doesn't take forever.

I applied via Linkedin and got an email reply from HR. She arranged a phone call with the CPO. It was around 15 minutes and went so good. She asked questions about my background, asked why I chose this company etc. Then a few days later, the head of technology or so called me and it took about 10mins. He told me about the previous call and said that I got a positive feedback from the CPO. Later on, they arranged an interview with the CPO, head of tech and product manager in the Amsterdam office. It took around 1 hour. They asked me about my background, told me about the company and what they are doing etc... and they were all positive and they told me that maximum in 1 week I will hear from them. So, what happened? They didn't call or send an email... Then I sent an email to a recruiter. She told me that they will contact me. After 2 weeks I sent one more email and then the CPO called me and said me that the company decided to not hire anyone, the position was cancelled and she will call me back if the position is available again. Whole process took 2 months or so. After a couple of months, they had the same position available again and I sent 2 emails to the CPO about the job, she didn't even reply to it.

I interviewed with Spotzer from November 2021 to March 2022. It began in November with an HR background check. Two months later, they contacted me for a Manager interview. I accepted and interviewed with him. The Manager interviewed me twice, with one interview being delayed last minute. We eventually had the interview, but they had to leave for another meeting for 10 minutes at the start. After, he said they would send an assignment, which I received. It wasn't too difficult but took some time. I think I did a good job on it. After I submitted it, they contacted me for a final code check interview, which I accepted. Two people interviewed me, asking very basic coding questions. I don't think the interviewers understood system design or candidate assessment. Their questions and approach were basic and irrelevant. After all these steps, I inquired about updates. They responded saying they'd decide the following week. After another week, I followed up repeatedly. I insisted they be respectful, and eventually, they gave me a standard rejection. They were very disrespectful. My advice is to avoid them if you see their job postings! They don't know what they're looking for.
