1. Phone Screen: The HR recruiter was cool, a young guy like myself. He asked me a lot of questions regarding my current, and why I wanted to work about Konrad. He also spent a lot of time telling me about the role. - One flag: He asked how much I currently make, as opposed to how much I expected. That was weird, and what I think is an attempt to undercut salary (if an offer is made). I gave a figure higher than what I made. My impression: He seemed younger and really bro-ish, and he mentioned we had a mutual acquaintance. Our interaction felt really natural and we talked a lot about the field. 2. Interview with a Senior Manager: I spoke with a Senior Manager who asked me again about my current role, and to provide a quick breakdown of my experience. That part of the interview went well - and she seemed enthusiastic and impressed with my experience and knowledge. She mirrored my positive energy, and it helped ease some of the nerves. We then spent the last 15 minutes with a weird set of questions (basically testing my knowledge of complex tech terms). This part was a bit weird and rushed: 1. What is AI vs. Machine Learning 2. How do you map/understand a User Experience? 3. What is the different between Product Management and Project Management. 4. Explain a complicated term in a simple/straight-forward way. After I answered these questions, the interview ended quickly after and I was a bit unsure of how I did. After a few days, I followed up with a different HR advisor on next steps (They said they would give me an update on the Friday, but didn't contact me until earlier next week). She assured me that I would receive a response by next week. Typically this stuff doesn't take this long, but I did get a positive email that mentioned, I made it to next steps. 3. Before the last interview, they tell you it is a basically a 3-hour design think exercise which you will have no way to prepare for, as you are only given details 15-minutes prior to the interview. As well, the recruiter asked for unofficial transcripts - so I emailed those out, while waiting a week before the design think exercise. How I prepped: (i) I tried my best to research how to prepare, but from what I saw on glassdoor, very few people provided any helpful stuff in the comments, and nothing was online to help prepare for a exercise like this. (ii) But I trusted that my education and experience would allow me to perform adequate enough. I did concern me that I didn't see anyone who actually got the job on glassdoor. (iii) So I spent time, breaking down the design process and ensured I had access to some quick tools to mock up diagrams. I didn't however, have a wireframe tool installed. 4. My design think exercised was booked from 1-5pm. It's a huge time commitment, and I had to largely block my time off from my current job. I cancelled/rebooked all my meetings. (i) On the day, as mentioned (15 minutes prior) the HR person sent me 3 PDFs - one a presentation template, and another a 3mb PDF explaining the exercise. (ii) Contents of PDFs: I cannot share too many details - but basically you have to design an app to solve a problem in the food and nutrition field. At the end, you have to present your idea to two managers (1 is a VP). (iii) What to present: Basically it's 10 slides, you present your idea, market research, 3 wireframes, a technology breakdown, business model, and a user persona. It's a lot to do, especially if you don't have any time to barely research and prepare.
