Candidate-reported interview process

So first there's an HR call, then you meet the hiring manager. After that, we do a portfolio review and critique your application.

I applied at Affirm a couple weeks before Christmas and went through their interview process after the holidays. A recruiter reached out and she and another colleague handled scheduling and reminders for all interviews. They were very communicative and quick to provide next steps after each stage. I went through a recruiter screen, a 1:1 with the design manager, and then a portfolio presentation and app review with two designers each. I didn’t make it to the final interview but feedback was quick and I liked everyone I got to meet.

The process went really well and was quite fast. It started with a screening call where I presented my portfolio. The hiring manager was very receptive to my questions.
