I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process consisted of several meetings. The first one was with the recruiter, after 2 positive sessions with the recruiter, one introductory and the other one about my main motivations and goals; I spoke with the lead UX designer. After a positive feedback on this one, I completed a design assignment regarding a user flow of banking platform. It was a complex assignment but also I had a lot of fun doing it! I handed over the case study and about one week after I presented it to one senior designer and one business analyst. This was the last step of my interview.

Question 1
They let you speak a lot, about your case study and bout your process and reasoning behind it. One important thing is surely to own your case study and research, be prepared to answer why, and what could be done better. Same thing in the case study presentation, which was very well organised on a Miro board. So prepare good, try to not be too long, and make a nice story out of it!
