      UI/UX Designer Interview

      11 Mar 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gearset (Cambridge, England)

      Interview

      Started with a 30-minute phone conversation, no technical or skill questions, just a fairly casual chat about what each of us were looking for. Then, got a fairly straightforward skills task to do at home. It was just the right balance of being in-depth enough to be able to show off my skills, without being something you need to sink loads of time into. There was then a 2-3 hour skills interview in person, where my task was reviewed, and I was given additional tasks to solve off the cuff on pen and paper. Finally, on another day, a separate 2-3 hour interview for team fit with different people than before, where it was another rather casual conversation about life and work philosophies, tying it off with an office tour. At no point during the interview process did I feel nervous, tested or pressured. It was quite a pleasant process overall. Importantly, each stage was a two-way conversation; not only were they keen to assess whether you're a good fit for them, they were also quite open about your chance to assess whether they were a good fit for you.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What's the biggest mistake you ever made?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Our product is rather boring. Why would you choose to work here, rather than some other company with a more exciting product?
