My first round was strange. The person I interviewed with was expecting us to have a video call (as did I) but it was instead set up as a phone call. Since we couldn’t look at my work, we talked about it. The second interview was actually a video call to review my work, and only 30 minutes. It felt rushed, and the questions I was being asked were very straightforward. At the time, Carvana was just starting to hire UX researchers and expend that team meaning their UX maturity as a company was low. This is what I was told when I asked about how much user research is conducted. Following the call, I heard nothing, radio silence for over a week. I reached out, nothing again. Then I reached out to the recruiter who found me, and was told that she was waiting for “more feedback” but they decided not to move forward, and she was going to email me about it but I beat her to it. She then said she would reach out to give me feedback, which I never received. Long story short - I was ghosted! In addition to rescheduling and a few mix ups, it was probably the messiest interview process.
