Pretty humane and conversational overall, with a mix of technical depth where needed. The process typically started with an intro call to understand background and culture fit, followed by a portfolio walkthrough focusing on problem framing, decision-making, and impact rather than just visuals. There were a few rounds that went deeper into product thinking and collaboration—discussing how I work with PMs and engineers, handle ambiguity, and prioritize trade-offs. Some questions leaned technical, especially around systems thinking, scalability, and how design decisions translate into implementation. Overall, it felt balanced—not overly rigid or academic, but still thorough enough to assess both craft and strategic thinking.
