I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview for the role of UX designer was very pleasant. After speaking with a recruiter, I had the opportunity to interview with the design manager and some of the UX team where I shared 2 of my case studies. I had a take home assignment which I presented to the team at a later date. Once that was finished, I had a social interview with external team members and got to ask them questions about working at Backbase.
Overall the interview process was straight forward and quick. Everyone was very helpful and willing to answer any questions I had.
