Five rounds which include 1) screener, 2-4) technical assessments, 5) culture panel. Technicals included 1) Redesign challenge, 2) Portfolio Presentation, 3) Whiteboard. Kind of surprised how many technical interviews there are, given that it's a startup and not sure why so many are required to assess a product designer. VERY unconventional interview processes, too extensive, and technical assessment was really odd. Got negative impression.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Prelim in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process felt unstructured and no clear communication of the overall timeline and process. Completed a lengthy design test with one week of effort only to be rejected with a generic "Thank you email" with no additional feedback provided. Didn't feel my time and efforts were respected.
The interview process was fairly organized and structured, with clear steps throughout. Communication around scheduling was smooth.
However, some of the conversations felt a bit impersonal and more transactional than expected.
