I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Elemental8 (San Jose, CA) in May 2016
Interview
I had two different interviews: a preliminary one with two of the more senior industrial designers, where I showed and discussed my work. This was followed by an interview with the CEO a few days later maybe, where I showed my work again, but this time, it felt more like a critique and he actually gave feedback on how my work could improve or what would be more realistic if the work were for a client. That was quite helpful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of products are you interested in designing? Where else have you applied/interviewed?
