I had a 30-minute introductory call with the hiring manager. The first 15mins was dedicated to a very detailed overview of the company, which, while informative, felt a bit overwhelming and didn’t help to ease me into the conversation. The second half consisted of a few straightforward questions, followed by a chance for me to ask my own. Unfortunately, this part of the interview fell a little flat — my questions were mostly met with brief or disinterested responses. This made it difficult to establish a meaningful dialogue. It was a disappointing experience overall, especially as I was genuinely interested in the product. I came away with the impression that there wasn’t much enthusiasm on the other side. The next steps in the process involve a take-home design brief, followed by two further interviews to present the work to various department heads.

Clear and timely communication, very smooth. Clear instructions for case review. Nice people, asking critical but fair questions. Recruiters getting back within reasonable time. Received a fair and good offer.
