I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Outreach in Jun 2021
Interview
The interview went quite well and the people were generally very nice and knowledgeable so I didn’t feel stressed about that meetings. It was more like a discussion about the design approach, background, projects I worked on, and the role I had. The interview definitely requires preparation and a case study presentation with the whiteboarding exercise is not the easiest. Generally, the interview had a lot of rounds compare to other companies but is worth it. The hiring process is tackled quite fast.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Outreach (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2020
Interview
The interview process began with a recruiter screening that consisted of fairly typical introductory questions. Following this, I had a conversation with one of Outreach’s Design Directors where I answered questions about my design background and walked through a project I had worked on in the past. Both interviews were casual, friendly and I had a chance to ask questions about the company and the role they were hoping to fill.
From here I moved into the portfolio review phase where I presented 2-3 projects to the entire Design and PM Team, followed by a Q&A session. The team seemed legitimately interested in my work and asked incredibly thoughtful questions during the presentation — it was honestly a really enjoyable experience that made me want the position that much more.
The final round consisted of a couple of back-to-back interviews. The first was a conversation with the VP of Product Management who wanted to learn more about how I think. He posed a hypothetical scenario about a product made up on the fly and we talked about how we’d approach building it. The second was a standard whiteboard exercise with one of the Senior Designers on the team (we ended up using Figma as our virtual whiteboard, as this entire process was handled remotely). Again, both interviews were really fun and engaging.
The entire process was smooth and I was provided with the right amount of information ahead of each stage to feel prepared walking in. Definitely one of the best interview experiences I’ve had.
