The company values curiosity, which is especially important for the role of a product designer. The HR and the design team members I met with are really friendly and professional. Would definitely apply again.
Went through a phone screen, first and second round of interview. Everyone was nice and friendly. First round was a generic one asking for a description of your design process, and the second round is a portfolio review.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (Ottawa, ON)
Interview
I was always informed throughout the process, and they were prompt in replying to any of my questions or concerns. They were also accommodating when I was unable to call via phone and instead preferred Zoom.
The first interview was a phone call, I was asked about the design tools and design thinking skills I have. The second interview was with the manager, I was further questioned on my design skills and did not show my portfolio. The next two interviews were back to back, and I spoke with two of the designers on the team. The first designer just asked me questions, and the second asked for me to present a piece in my portfolio. Afterwards I hopped on a call with the recruiter and was given the chance to ask anymore clarifying questions.
