I interviewed with the managers—this was normal and straightforward. Then I had to shadow one of the more senior designers. Wow. It was a huge red flag. The woman was so unprofessional and you could tell she didn’t like her job. Such a horrible interview process and a waste of my time.
Other Web Designer Interview Reviews for CDK Global
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CDK Global (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2016
Interview
A few staffing agencies reached out to me for the initial screening of this position. From there, you're handed four test questions, "Design a grid template for online, Design a Javascipt Menu, Design a series of Car Banner Ads, and another Javascript question." before you're passed onto CDK Global.
The staffing agency was really only great at re-describing the written job description, so I went in hoping I could get a better understanding of the position. I interviewed with four people, none of which had actually seen my portfolio (which I thought was rude considering I took the time to complete their tests). This of course makes it hard to relate your answers to your visual design work.
