Design Interview Process

Product Designer

Interviewer(s): Two Product Designers.
Duration: 1 hour
Details: In this interview, we will be looking for you to give some real insight into a problem you were solving as part of a project you’ve worked on. We would like you to lead us through this problem or case study in detail. We’ll look to understand the size and structure of the team you were a part of, the goals of the project, your low-fidelity design work, your high-fidelity design skills, how you approached research, how you synthesized research data to inform design decisions, what design standards and guidelines you worked within, and how you collaborated with a wider team. We are particularly interested in your process for the project, the outcomes, the challenges you encountered, and tradeoffs you made.

Interviewer(s): Product Manager, Product Designers, and a Frontend engineer.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Details: The interview simulates a real-life design collaboration as closely as possible. We'll brief you on a project we've already completed and then you'll lead us in some early ideation. Finally, we'll discuss how you would proceed with the project if it were a real effort. Our goal is to give you an introduction to the types of problems you'll be solving and the people you'll be working with. On our end, we'd like to understand how you think about design in practice. Please come prepared to work in your favorite design tool for wireframes and low-fidelity mockups. You can read more about the session here:
