January 30, 2015

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first one was a video interview using Hirevue. It had seven behavioral questions. The second round involved another interview via Hirevue with two managers. Both were very high up and it was pretty intimidating. They asked about my project, work, and extracurricular activities.

Questions

Not extremely difficult, but they were definitely looking for design experience.
