- The recruiter didn't respond to my email until the day before the interview
- Hiring manager asked me to open up your Figma file even though there is a chance to leak the company's unpublished feature.
It was an interview with a team member (Sr Designer). I was presenting my work (selected projects), and they were asking me some questions about what I presented, plus additional design questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the product or app you like the most? What do you like about it?
The interview process was thorough and well-structured. It began with an initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by a portfolio review with a designer. Then I was invited to a full-day virtual onsite with multiple rounds, including design exercises, cross-functional interviews (with PMs and engineers), and a leadership & team fit interview.
The interviewers were friendly and asked thoughtful questions that evaluated both design thinking and communication skills. They seemed genuinely interested in understanding my process and how I collaborate across teams.
