I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Color (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Initial interview with recruiter, interview with team lead, and then the final round was 4-5 hours of panel interviews on one day. This also included a hypothetical design thinking challenge that was purely discussion based. Then I received a call a few weeks later, as they offered to the other candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your experiences collaborating with product managers? What are some of your best practices for collaborating?
1) After applying online, I first had a 30 minute phone call with HR which went well. At the end of the call, she scheduled me to meet with the head of design a few days later.
2) This next interview was a 45-minute zoom meeting wherein we chatted about my background, the company, and I gave a short (~10 min) presentation of a case study. At the end, she said I would hear back from HR about their decision.
After a week of not hearing anything, I sent an email to follow-up. Another week passed and I still didn't hear anything. I think a simple rejection email would be easy to send, or perhaps a "Sorry it's taking so long to get back to you, but we are interviewing other candidates before making a decision." Really disappointed by their lack of communication considering they pose themselves as an ethical healthcare company who cares about people.
