I applied online. I interviewed at Yext in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview process ran smoothly, and the HR team was always very attentive and kept me updated. In every stage of the process, you receive preparation tips and resources so you can perform better in the interviews. The process is a bit long (4 stages), but I would not describe it as overwhelming.

Question 1
My role is specialized in Design Systems, so in the technical interview, I needed to propose a design and answer questions from the engineering, product, and design teams. Questions were challenging, but they came from their current pain points within the design system, so they really put effort into preparing for interviews as well.
