After applying, I was given a set of challenge problems to complete. These tested logic and general reasoning and asked behavioural questions. Throughout this process I was in touch with the recruiter who let me know my progress and what to expect at each stage via email.
After progressing to the next round, I was given more challenge problems, these being practical. The questions were appropriate to the role of a UX Designer, dealing with wireframes, wireflows, screen design and usability, without overlapping into UI design or user research or marketing. The tests were a little time-consuming, but the general reasoning ones were fun to complete and I appreciated the UX-focus of the practical ones.
After successfully completing the second test, I was interviewed by call with the recruiter and a colleague of hers. They asked me behavioural questions similar to those asked on the tests and answered my questions about the company culture.
After successfully completing the interview, I was given a design challenge. This was a full-day paid assignment to deliver a UX design. My submission was evaluated and I progressed to another interview.
I interviewed via conference call with a product manager and software engineer. They asked me behavioural questions similar to the previous interview, as well as some practical logic problems similar to the first tests. They were open about the role, its duties and expectations, and the company in general.
After this interview they asked for my references, which I provided. I was later told that they were not progressing with my candidacy. They seem to be looking for a high degree of expertise in this role.
