Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Pentagram Design.
Graphic Designer
It was pretty standard and casual. We went over my portfolio with a few questions and answers. I had to explain the concept and execution process for my work. I showed about 3-4 key pieces, spending about 8-10 minutes on each. The whole thing took about 30 minutes. I interviewed with an associate partner, but not the partner.
- Can you explain the concept and your thinking behind your work?
Graphic Designer
The interview started late. After introductions, I began discussing a project. However, the interviewer seemed disengaged, using their laptop and speaking in another language with a colleague. They ended the interview prematurely after only fifteen minutes. It was the rudest and most arrogant interaction I've experienced professionally.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Graphic Designer
I presented my portfolio on my laptop. Two Senior Designers interviewed me. They talked about the work environment, and we finished with questions. They didn't ask tough questions. It felt like a comfortable interview, mostly to show my work and see if I was a good fit.
- What was your specific role in this project?
- What responsibilities did you have for this project?
