Interview
Interview was online with two of their senior designers. Mainly spoke through my projects with some general chat afterwards. Really nice experience with plenty of support offered along the way for my disability.

1st interview with HR, 2nd interview is 45min-1 hr with design team leads, if you pass, there's a 3rd interview with the design director before making the final decision. Took awhile to hear back on whether or not I got the role.
