I applied online. I interviewed at Vestwell (NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Started with a recruiter call. The recruiter was great and very knowledgeable about Vestwell and the team. Next, there was a Figma assessment and meet the team session. This was a one hour session. The Figma assessment involved going through a mock prompt from brainstorming & ideation, wire framing, and then high-fidelity designs using M3. The team didn’t ask any behavioral questions or any questions about myself. They also didn’t speak to the role they were hiring for. It went straight to the Figma assessment. It wasn’t clear what the team was looking for or expecting for the Figma assessment.

Interview
I went through the interview process with Vestwell and had a very disappointing experience. After completing three interviews for the original role, I was told my resume was “overqualified” and was encouraged by the recruiter to interview for an alternative position. I moved forward and completed an additional three interviews, only to encounter inconsistent and delayed communication throughout the process.
I was repeatedly told I would hear back by the end of the week, which often did not happen. After more than a month, I was informed that the role had been filled and was advised to reconnect in the new year—after which the recruiter stopped responding altogether.
The lack of transparency, follow-through, and the overall “breadcrumbing” during the interview process felt unprofessional and frustrating. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Vestwell’s recruitment process or platform.
