Entrevista
This is only to the Seattle Office. Definitely the worst interviewing experience ever. They first asked me to do a design challenge that is basically their current product and refused to provide any data. It's the hardest design challenge (because they designated very specific user types but refused to provide any information). It took me several sleepless nights just to finish it. When you go on site it's a 2-hour design challenge review (yep, just design challenge). 1 manager + 3 designers from the Boston office (called in remotely) and 2 designers at the Seattle office attended the interview. Those from the Boston office are ruthless - they don't care who you are, what you did, and all they did was nitpicking every small thing on your design challenge just to test your reactions. The 2 designers at the Seattle office are really nice and encouraging throughout the process (thanks to them I didn't break down). I can imagine lots of pressure working here. Not for me

Design Challenge: desktop views for several specific users types
Very standard, I applied via referral, and then went through recruiter phone screen 15 mins, a video interview with hiring manager for 30 mins, portfolio review with a panelist for an hour, and lastly leadership interview.

Short interview process. Just one HM call, portfolio review, then final interview. They move fast if you are well prepared in your interview preparation. Just make sure you polish your portfolio

Met with two people on the UX team who were both very engaged and enthusiastic about the work the company is doing. We went over my experience and how I could be an asset to the company.
