      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Automation Anywhere (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2019

      Interview

      An initial phone call, then two onsite interviews. The first onsite was with a couple of UX managers, a product manager, and a short chat with the hiring manager (about 2hrs total). Upon entering the reception area, there is a standard electronic sign in process on an iPad with a picture and name tag. The reception is a small area that has no visibility into the two wings of the main workspaces. The atmosphere is secure, clean, and professional — still welcoming. The second / final onsite started with a mixed group from the UX department as a portfolio presentation. Then a design exercise with two UX managers, followed by an interview with a frontend designer / engineer. It ended on a deeper conversation about the role with the hiring manager. The portfolio review was mostly me talking and walking through my online portfolio site with a couple of deep dives into case studies. I'm definitely not the greatest public speaker, and may have rambled a bit. However, I tried to read the room and adjust a bit if people started to look slightly disengaged. It was early in the morning and people didn't have their coffees yet, as far as I could see. During the design exercise, they presented a printout of a hypothetical situation related to an actual company product. It was generic enough that I didn't think they were trying to get free ideas off candidates (some other design exercises seem to do so). At the same time, the UX managers helped me along the process to focus on what the task at hand was. They mostly seemed to want to deduce how I attack or work through a problem. I ended up really having fun, instead of being put off by an exercise. It seems like this type of whiteboarding session can be a bit off-putting for some experienced designers upon first glance, but I think it's very reasonable to get the sense of how a person thinks. Anyway, I didn't feel like they were testing me or judging me too critically. It felt more like a team brainstorm session.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions that left the biggest impression on me were the last few asked by my hiring manager, the VP of UX. First, there was a print out of preselected descriptors grouped into three sections. These descriptors were words that describe qualities that I value or think are the most powerful trait that makes me a good designer— I have to choose one from each section, so three total. Having thought about personality tests and self-evaluations, I always wondered how accurate one's own perception of their qualities is inline with other people's views. For example, I might assert that I am a great listener because I want to believe that about myself, but everyone else may think that's a delusional perception. Anyway, after a quick selection, I was asked to explain why I chose those words, and to give examples that proved they applied to me. That was a very interesting approach.
