Spoonflower Interview Questions
& Process

I went through a 6-round interview process, starting with an initial phone screening. I made it to the final round and completed the interview. I had a good feeling about everyone I met, and it seemed like they felt the same way about me. However, after the last interview, I was completely ghosted. I've sent follow-up emails with no response, and it's been a month since my last interview with no updates. It's extremely unprofessional considering all the effort I put in, and it really says something about the company.

I went through 5 interview rounds for an entry-level job. It was weird because different people asked me the same questions, like they hadn't talked to each other. Also, different people gave me totally conflicting ideas about what the job was actually like, and none of it matched the job posting. I still don't know if the job is in-person or remote. The interviewers seemed like they weren't prepared or interested, and it was never clear what the interview process would be, even when I asked.

The interview process involved an initial HR screening call, followed by separate interviews with the President, a Co-founder, and the CEO/Co-founder, totaling four distinct conversations. The office environment was colorful and bright. I would have rated the interview as difficult because each founder/CEO/President had a different approach without prior warning, and I had to adapt to very different personalities in each separate interview. After the first interviewer, I didn't feel a strong sense of interest from anyone. The questions were average, not particularly challenging, but I handled them well. I personally enjoy engaging questions that stimulate ideas. The President asked straightforward questions but was hard to read, maintaining a serious demeanor with a poker face, though they seemed interested in our discussion, and I felt that interview went best. The Co-Founder appeared uninterested and bored, with minimal eye contact. The CEO/Co-Founder engaged in a very philosophical conversation about life and travel, with little focus on skills. While the conversation was decent, it became tangential, which I went along with. Overall, the interviews were acceptable, but I wished I had a better sense of their interest level. I customized my portfolio and emphasized the importance of DIY culture in my life and work. One interviewer briefly scanned my resume and picked out random points without showing much interest, making it seem like they hadn't prepared or weren't seriously considering me for the role. My impression was that they were interviewing mid-career professionals but intended to hire a younger candidate from the start. My advice is to go in and do your best. I asked for feedback afterward but received no response.

After submitting an application, I was invited to an "open house" session where most of the interviews took place. Within a two-hour period, I had three separate interviews with the print room manager, the operations manager, and the HR manager. The questions asked by each interviewer were largely the same, which provided an opportunity to rephrase answers if I didn't do well the first time.
