Technical
I applied for an Early Career UX Designer role at Picnic. The initial contact was great, moving fast and professionally. But then I got an online assessment via TestGorilla, and it was the wrong test—it was for Brand Designer, not UX. A lot of questions were about marketing and brand terms, not what the UX job description was about. The test was also super rushed, making it hard to get through long, complicated questions, especially when the content was totally unexpected. It would be good if they could make sure candidates get the right test type, so the process is more fair and actually matches the job.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Group
It was a 4 step interview process, really clear and straightforward, no tricky questions. The final step was a case day at their office in Amsterdam where I got to work with the team and have lunch together. This was overall a really good experience.

Case Presentation
I skipped the Glassdoor reviews and went through a lengthy hiring process. I got positive feedback until the final stage, a full case day at their office. They said case day is for mutual understanding, but it felt like they were just saving money. After what seemed like a successful case day, I got rejected. Honestly, I'd recommend doing the bare minimum research and design for take-home assignments, but make sure to cover all the assignment's bullet points and prepare slides. Based on feedback, going over time (presenting to 8 people) and not explicitly linking research to design choices were grounds for rejection. I think take-home assignments are more respectful and allow applicants to showcase their skills better.
