They sent a vague email without any prior conversation to complete a labor intensive case study. Seems like the company is looking to get free work out of desperate job applicants. Beware of these companies.
I found this job opportunity on LinkedIn and I applied it online. Then I got the first round 30 minutes interview with the product designer. After that, I had a design homework.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview experience was DISAPPOINTING and DISRESPECTFUL. In the first round, I interviewed with the lead product design, Ryan Collier. He appeared friendly, and we seemed to have a good conversation. However, he assigned me a design homework that took me 8-10 hours to complete. After submitting it, I waited for a week for his response. I sent a follow-up email, and he replied, stating that the interview would move forward, and he would schedule it for the following week. Unfortunately, he then GHOSTED me, even after I sent three follow-up emails in two weeks, receiving no response.
This experience was very DISHEARTENING. I spent 10 hours to complete the design homework, only to be ignored. It's very unprofessional and disrespectful, both from an interviewer and a personal standpoint. I strongly advise against any interaction with this company. If they hire individuals who behave in such a manner, it reflects poorly on the company's trustworthiness and overall quality.
Beware of this company. I received a so called design challenge as the 1st screening after I submitted my application.
They asked me to complete the challenge in just 2 hours, the challenge was to design some real features on their existing app!
Also, the audacity of them telling us applicants “If we end up using your work, we will compensate you for it.”
First of all, if you ended up using the work, why didn’t you just hired the person??? Secondly, they were not providing the detailed compensation details, so a bit fishy here in my opinion.
I noped out immediately.
