The process started with a design task, which seemed fair at first. After completing it, someone briefly reviewed my work and then brought me to meet the manager. The manager asked several personal questions, such as whether I had a boyfriend, what my personality was like, and whether I would always obey my boss. And the manager would expect you to do a lot of work tasks unrelated to the job title. The role also required working six days a week, with fixed hours until 8 PM daily. Raised red flags about this company culture.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DMSolving (North York, ON) in Feb 2024
Interview
The interview process consisted of two main rounds.
The first round was a phone call focusing on basic information. This stage likely involved discussing your background, experience, and assessing your fit for the position. Questions might have revolved around your resume, skills, and general motivations for applying to the role.
The second round was more technical in nature. You were asked to design an animal-themed web layout and logo. This stage likely aimed to assess your creativity, design skills, and ability to translate ideas into practical designs. You might have been asked to explain your design choices, demonstrate your understanding of user experience principles, and showcase your graphic design skills.
Overall, the interview process seemed to progress from assessing your general qualifications and fit for the role to evaluating your specific technical abilities and creativity.
