Pretty straight forward for the most part. This is my first time writing a review for an interview - as it really bruised my ego, and I feel it will give me closure. Hiring manager decided I should meet with the design team, which I tend to disagree - management should not interview with the team they manage. To clarify, it's fine to meet with the team, but the decision should not be democratized by the team a candidate will be managing, it's a biased candidate selection. Nevertheless, I obliged and for the most part it was a portfolio review. Despite that I gave the caveat that I have a very vast portfolio, they asked that I select the ones that align with the values most. For companies that do this, by the way, you should accept asking this changes what part of a portfolio a candidate shows - and that it may not be the strongest or most recent design work. Also, I have been in executive management for awhile, so the work was quite old. While interviewing, I visibly saw one of the junior designers scoffing at something I said. At that point, I had already made the decision that this wasn't right for me. It was incredibly disrespectful and I feel like Modern Animal has made me despise the organization. I rarely feel ill-will towards a mission-driven organization, but I was livid when I received feedback from the recruiter afterward that they declined, as I did not show enough UX process in the portfolio review...a point I made to them when I told them I was selecting projects that exhibited the values, and that I would be obliged to show end to end work instead. I had intended to take a major pay cut and position cut for this job - a job I feel I can easily do VERY well but instead I felt like they severely underestimated and belittled me in this process. I will not be recommending good people to Modern Animal.
