I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at 6sense (West Hollywood, CA)
Interview
A few days after an initial screening call with a recruiter. I was asked to block out the most of the day in the upcoming week for a series of interviews with various stakeholders. A significant ask given I have already full-time job and on-going projects. Additionally, I was asked to accommodate a few schedule changes. The initial interview itself went smoothly, the questions asked were clear and straightforward. I was not a good fit for the role in terms of my experience and I was not moved forward to the next round of interviews. I was disappointed, but only by the fact that no one informed me and I was left waiting on the zoom call for the next interviewers.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at 6sense (Boston, MA) in May 2022
Interview
Someone at 6sense contacted me via LinkedIn and asked me to apply. I responded and talked to HR the very next day. But the follow up was scheduled a month away. In contrast with most interview processes, there was no initial hiring manager chat. The follow up was a full day of interviews, including portfolio review, with five people. However, after I did the portfolio presentation and answered a few basic questions, they told me they weren't interested and canceled the rest of the interviews. While I'm glad they didn't waste my time after they realized I wasn't a good fit, I'm confused why they asked me to interview at all if my fit was that bad. They had access to my CV and online portfolio for a full month before the meeting, so my presentation should not have been a surprise.

It was a good experience giving interview as a designer role. 5-6 rounds of interviews including Design exercise round.
Technical round was good. Basic questions regarding your job, portfolio and UX questions. Design exercise was Ok. Lead round was a general and informal kind of. Felt like talking to a friend. Later HR , PM and cultural fit round.
