1. Application review
2. Technical interview – 90min whiteboard challenge
"There is nothing special to be prepared. 2. Please select a tool of your choice (Figma, FigJam, Miro etc.) and be ready to share your screen.
If you would like to draw your solution or wireframes on the paper, please have a pen and paper ready, as well as the camera if you want to email the solution - The whiteboard session basically works like a workshop. We don't expect you to have a finished solution or design the final screens in such a short time. It's more about understanding your approach to solve the problems and how you structure the processes."
3. Project interview with Hiring Manager + 1 team member. This meeting is more about project and team + additional technical questions from the Hiring Manager.
4. HR interview with recruiter
The whiteboard challenge was straightforward and I enjoyed the conversation with the two interviewers. I received positive feedback and progressed to the next round – scheduled a week later.
I asked the recruiter if there's anything I need to prepare for the second interview and was told there's nothing to prepare.
The interviewer was not the Hiring Manager as I expected but a Lead from a totally different team. He didn't know anything about the project so I couldn't get more information. He asked me to present a case study. Had I known this was expected, I would have prepared a case study deck but instead I had to share my portfolio website. This didn't set me up for success and I felt unprepared.
I didn't hear anything from the company after that, not even an automated rejection email. Very disappointing and poor interview process.
