I applied online and completed a questionnaire. The recruiter called me without any prior confirmation and did not leave a voicemail. I had to call back immediately (without knowing whose number it was) and had a general discussion about my background and interests. The next step was the on-site interview, for which I was given an assignment.

There were three interviews on-site:

• A one-on-one with an engineer.
• A one-on-one with a designer.
• A presentation to a panel.

In my case, my interview with the designer was the most disrespectful. The person was closing his eyes (napping) during the interview and was obviously not paying attention. It was very unprofessional, and I did not feel comfortable throughout the process. Aside from that, my interview with the engineer was mainly about handling conflicts; there were no technical questions.

I did not get the position. However, I followed up with an email asking for feedback but did not receive any response. The process is a bit peculiar because the recruiters are used to screening engineers and not designers (which they admit themselves), so the focus of the entire interview becomes more on culture fit as opposed to your portfolio or even design in general.

Nothing unexpected.
