Very efficient and smooth process, 2 rounds of interviews in total.
Round 1: Design lead (chat about background, walkthrough the portfolio case study)
Round 2: Panel presentation + PM & Engineer + manager (3 sections in one day)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- If you had a magic wand, what’s one thing you would change about our website?
Phone screen where the recruiter showered my experience with compliments and confirmed there seemed to be a match with my background. Then ghosted with no real explanation for a week before a boilerplate rejection email. Ironic because I was told the team is "very into communication," which in hindsight sounds like a euphemism for micromanagement.
I applied online. I interviewed at Zola (New York, NY)
Interview
A couple screening questions by email, and a video call with a somewhat senior person that this role would work alongside. Interview was barely 30 minutes long. Took a few questions at the end.
