So first, they gave me a case study that I had to prep a pitch for a few days before the actual interview. Then, during the interview, it was like, intro yourself, talk about your portfolio work, present the case study (which was like a task), answer follow up questions on the case study, and then I got to ask them questions.

Presentation Behavioral

I went through a screening interview first, and then I had a portfolio presentation. I was given 15 minutes to present my work. The interview with HR helped me figure out if I would be a good fit for the UI or UX part of iX. I told them I was more interested in UX.

The interviewer was super chill and we basically just chatted about my past work. There were three main parts to it: an HR chat, a chat with the manager, and then a technical part.
