The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

One day, multi step, deep behavioral process. It started with a design problem, then a presentation of my solution, then a portfolio presentation, and after that multiple one on one or small group interviews that went on all day. Tiring, but honestly very thorough. Very much respected the process.Candidate-reported process
The interview process for the Designer role in Oslo is set up to evaluate both creative skills and how you fit with the team. It starts with an initial screening call to talk about your background, interests, and how well you match the role. If you move forward, you’ll be given a design task to demonstrate your problem-solving and visual design abilities. After that, you’ll have one or two detailed interviews with team members, where you’ll present your portfolio, explain your design thinking, and take part in collaborative design challenges. The last step is a cultural fit interview with leadership to confirm shared values and vision.Candidate-reported process
