      User Experience Designer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WP Engine (Austin, TX) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      Overall the interview process was very casual. One of the least stressful interviews I've ever had. The people are amazing, scheduling was flexible, and overall I felt very good about the process. HR was very responsive and one of the best experiences I've had dealing with the hiring process. I had a 1:1 interview with the direct manager, and then had a series of panel interviews with various members of the team I would be part of. Questions were all what you would expect, though it was more focused on me as a person and my experience than specific skills. WP Engine is clearly hiring for personality and culture fit over hard skill-sets and experience requirements, though you still need to meet the job recs and have relevant experience. I have a non-standard education and background and they were really receptive to that. A background with WordPress is also highly valued. Overall the interviews were largely conversational. There was a short simple skill/thought process exercise. Nothing you could prepare for, that would be highly specific to the position that aimed gauged critical thinking and problem solving skills for a very focused problem.
