Interview
I applied online and received an immediate response. We were able to set up an interview for the next day. It was a long interview, and I remember being taken off guard with questions like, "What do your parents do for a living?" and other questions that were just irrelevant to my actual work history.
After, you're given a take-home writing test, which was pretty extensive. You then are supposed to take time to go back to their offices and turn it in (you can mail it back, but they want it returned pretty soon after your first interview). After that, they may or may not call you back in for a second interview.
I was called and scheduled that second interview but then they had to reschedule and decided to not tell me until about 2 hours before I was supposed to come in. No problem (although a bit inconsiderate), I rescheduled for the following week. That day came, and they emailed me to schedule the interview for the following week...I was confused and said I thought we were meeting that day, and they were just like "oh yeah, OK that works."
The way it was handled, it seemed to me they didn't care much about my time.

Question 1
Most aren't difficult, but oftentimes are irrelevant to your work background.

Interview
After submitting my resume online I was asked to come in for an in person interview. Upon arrival I had to fill out a lengthy information form before being brought in. The interview itself took about an hour and a half. The questions asked weren't hard and seemed off for interviewing for a Director position. They'll ask a little about your history, but they really don't ask any serious design related questions. I was asked to complete a design "test" to be considered for the role. I completed this over a few days and had to print and deliver this to the company. Note, you are not paid for this time and you must pay yourself to print and deliver. I was asked in for a second interview, which wasn't much of one. They discussed my design submission before pitching their company rather than getting to understand more about my history. Second interview took two hours.

Question 1
Questions were very basic and didn't have much to do with the actual position.
The hiring process here is ridiculous. Not only do you have to take a time-consuming writing test, they will make you come back for multiple interviews (I'm talking 3 times or more). Don't have time in your schedule? Too bad. After stringing you along, they will never get back to you.

Question 1
Besides asking common questions regarding your resume and why you want the job, they mostly talk about why their company is "so great."
