I had several rounds of interviews with Konrad Group. Round 1: Phone screen. Round 2: Portfolio presentation. Round 3: Design challenge. Overall the process was okay and everyone I met was kind. Communication was great throughout the process. However, I thought it was excessive to do a portfolio presentation and design challenge. The design challenge seemed totally unrealistic and only gave 90 min to do A LOT (read through the long prompt, figure out 3 unique designs, create hi-fi screens for them, and create a presentation for what you did) and I didn't move on to the next round. The rejection email made it sound like the team had unrealistic expectations for what could be accomplished during 90 min, which made me wonder what the expectations would be like on a day-to-day basis working there.

My first round interview was very professional and straightforward. I'm waiting on the second round where I will complete a 2-hour take home assignment. The third round is a live portfolio review at their Toronto office. Fourth round is a 1-on-1 meeting with a higher up executive.
