      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IDEO (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      First round with talent lead, both behavioural and slightly technical project-based questions. There was also an emphasis on cross-functional collaboration and design thinking/user research. After this would be three more rounds: skills-based, ways of working, and onsite. At the time of writing, still interviewing.
