Life story interview then met with senior designer to walk through take home assignment. Life story was unlike the I’ve ever done before. Felt the final interview was biased and I did not receive meaningful feedback

Cadence: Manager - 30 min Growth path w/ recruiter - 60 min Portfolio review with team - 60 min Critique exercise with team - 60 min Director - 30 min Process took about seven weeks. Interviews were informal with highly engaged, smart folks. There seemed to be some internal miscommunication around role/responsibilities. Some folks indicated they were interviewing candidates for the first time. Director level interview contradicted information communicated in previous conversations, leading to a bit of a chaotic end to a long process. On the recruitment side, their candidate portal is well-designed and informative. They offered to provide feedback at the end of the process (albeit in a canned email) and did not follow through. Some feedback for the team: Develop more alignment around role to avoid contradictions, consider involving director-level folks earlier in the process.
