Photon Ux Designer Interview Questions
& Process

It was a pretty quick process. I had an initial 30 minute phone screening with a recruiter who reached out to me, the basic questions were asked. Then I had a 30 minute video call with the hiring manager where I walked through one project. The whole process took about a week, and everyone was friendly. I ended up rejecting the offer (mostly) because of the Glassdoor reviews for the company.

I was initially contacted by an internal recruiter about opportunities in either Houston or Seattle. A brief initial screening was then set up. During the screening, the design manager seemed unfamiliar with both projects and didn't ask any in-depth design questions, nor could they answer my follow-up questions. When I followed up the next day, the internal recruiter shared the design manager's negative write-up of me, which contained insults about my skills and experience. This was one of the most unprofessional experiences in my job search, despite my extensive experience with recruiters.

First, there was a recruiter call that basically went over the role and the interview process. After that, I had a chat with a Photon designer. This second interview was pretty chill and casual. The third step involved talking with the client. It went pretty well, but there was a misunderstanding about what I thought I was interviewing for and what the client expected. Photon admitted it was their mistake, and they gave me another chance.
