This interview process takes a long time and was exhausting for me who also have a full-time job. It started with a 30-minute recruiter call with 1 person, followed by a 30-minute hire manager chat with 1 person. Then, there was a 1-hour portfolio presentation with about 7 people. After that, I met with a Researcher for 45 minutes (1 person), and then with a product manager for 30 minutes (2 people). A 1-hour whiteboard challenge was conducted with 2 people. Finally, I had a 45-minute meeting with the hire manager again (1 person) and another 45-minute meeting with Designers (2 people).

Behavioral Presentation

It was a pretty standard interview process. First, I had a call with a recruiter to go over the job details. Then, I interviewed with the hiring manager. That interview involved discussing a past project and my design approach. After that, I was lucky enough to move on to a design challenge I had to complete at home. Finally, I presented my designs to a group of UX designers. The whole thing went smoothly, the designers gave me some good feedback on my challenge, and the recruiter was really helpful throughout.

The whole thing took about a week. It was a Zoom interview, then a take-home design exercise, and finally a presentation of that exercise. The people I talked to were really nice and I enjoyed the conversations. The take-home design exercise felt a bit off for UX, like they already had an answer before I even explored the problem. It felt like they wanted specific responses instead of seeing how I approach UX problems. Honestly, I don't get why a design exercise was needed when my portfolio already shows my work and UX process. Plus, they told me early on my resume and portfolio showed all the skills they needed, so the design exercise felt like they didn't trust my previous work.
