Behavioral Presentation
I applied online and then interviewed remotely. First, there was a screen call with HR, who was nice and welcoming. Next, I had a portfolio review with the hiring manager. The hiring manager didn’t seem very interested in my work and responded plainly, like a robot. I felt a bit disrespected. I got a rejection email the next day.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The entire interview process spanned nearly 8 weeks during the summer of 2019. It involved two in-person meetings with the Lead Designer, two phone calls with HR and Management, a design test, and a few follow-up emails. I thought the design test was basically free consulting work, and it felt like they give it to everyone even if they've already decided not to hire them. After I presented my design test work, the lead designer emailed me with follow-up questions about the strategy and what I would do in certain scenarios. In the end, after 8 weeks, the recruiting process concluded with a standard rejection email from HR. While I'm okay with not getting the job and I'm sure they found someone better, I expected a more personal closing note from the lead designer after such a lengthy process, free work, and meeting them three times, instead of a templated HR email.
