I had an extremely positive interview process with Upstart. I applied for the Product Design position and throughout the process, was able to speak with members from Engineering, Design, Product, and even one of Upstart’s co-founders, too. I was given a design challenge, but it was specified that this was for a feature that had already shipped, meaning this wasn’t a way to have candidates perform real design work. The team was friendly, open, transparent, and provided me with several ways to follow-up with any questions or concerns that I had. Finally, my recruiter was incredibly friendly, supportive, and was there for me throughout the entire interview process. They always ensured that I felt prepared, had all of the information I needed, and gave me plenty of time to really consider the role and decision to join Upstart. I sincerely believe this was one of the best interview experiences I’ve had.
