Interview
I had an introductory interview with a member from the hiring team. The call itself went as expected with opportunities to learn more about the role.
However, right at the end of the call I was asked to complete a "design challenge" asking to solution for a topic/feature related to the existing application. The senior talent partner confirmed that the challenge is not for an existing feature, but still the prompt requested designs for the application.
I did not proceed to the next round but highly encourage other designers to be cautious around completing challenges that relate to or for the application. I have seen this position posted several times over the next few months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The Senior Talent Partner spent a lot of time providing an overview of the role and how the company was founded with an opportunity in the beginning to ask questions. The call itself was brief and not many questions were asked of me.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jerry (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2023
Interview
Initial chat with recruiter, followed by a take-home exercise asking the candidate to redesign a screen in their app (unpaid) with minimal context and expectations. Told to allocate 1-2 hours on the assignment, but realistically expect to spend about 4+ hours at a minimum. Heavily focused on visual design, perhaps at the cost of usability; very Dribbble-esque. Feedback was surface-level and primarily focused on the visual execution.
