They asked about my experience as a Product Designer, the industries I’ve worked in, and my experience as a manager. They also asked how many people I managed, what my relationship with stakeholders was like, and how I collaborated with them.
5 interview stages: 1 initial recruiter interview, second recruiter interview, case task, 2 meetings with management, in person meeting with management. The length took around 6 weeks in total with around an interview per week.
I was interviewed by HR, then by the hiring manager who was a design director. After that I was given a design project that needed to be turned around within 4 days.
