Easy, and ​straightforward, I had very good communication from HR. Interviews were both virtual. Good mix of questions, not many behavioral but more based on the role which was nice.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Critical Mass in Oct 2022

Interview

Application to final interview took 2 months. Initial interview with the recruiter was lovely and felt like a chat and felt very fluid. Interviews with two hiring managers had no chemistry and very stoic and they rushed me a bit during a portfolio showcase of my design process. They asked a lot of reasons to why I chose my designs and features.

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Critical Mass (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2022

Interview

Lack of communication, never responded to any emails sent prior to scheduled interviews. Scheduled interviews were pushed back twice (1 week each) and then canceled. I felt ghosted the whole process, wasted time preparing for an interview that never happened and employees never responded back for an informational interview either. Avoid this company and save your time.

Interview Questions
  • Can't be asked an interview question if they don't give you one.
