Spotify Internship
Spotify has grown to be a household name in a relatively short space of time, and the company has headquarters all over the world, including in London. Details of the internship tend to change from one year to the next, as the brand’s needs from their recruitment and employees are always changing.
What is the Spotify Internship?
The summer internship Spotify offers is popular in all of their locations across the globe including the New York and London offices. If you’re living in the UK and looking to work at Spotify, it can be a good way to get a foot in the door, but it is unpaid.
The Spotify internship is a 10-13 week programme aimed at people who are completing their studies within the coming years. It’s ideal for students at university who have time off for the summer and still wish to work during these months.
The internships offer, in Spotify’s own words, “opportunities across our business and technical teams, and the chance to make a direct impact on how the world consumes audio”.
Getting a Spotify Internship
It is incredibly competitive. Working at a company like Spotify is very good for a CV and even work experience over a summer can help you with your future career (or prospects within Spotify after you graduate).
For the best chance of getting an internship within the company, you should be studying a relevant subject. Currently, they are looking for people with qualifications in “Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field of study”.
Depending on the specifics of the role, a portfolio could also be required.
Where Else Can I Do the Spotify Internship?
Open to studying abroad? Spotify has summer internships in their offices in Stockholm, Gothenburg, London, Singapore, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles and Boston.
You can also work remotely in some of their positions, though you will be expected to work within the local time zone and be located within the same country as the summer internship you are participating in.
Finding Internships
The Spotify Internship’s application process runs from the autumn with the internship itself taking place in the summer months.
