Interview
Applied online and went in for an interview about a week later with the hiring manager and one other designer. It was a simple and straightforward interview with the typical questions and then a skills test at the end, where I had to work changes into an existing design in Illustrator. I ended up declining the offer because I was offtered a full-time, regular role.

Interview
Interviewers were very friendly; I took a skills test on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, then proceeded through the interview. They’re mainly looking for someone that is cooperative and friendly.

Interview
The interview process was very lengthly. Took about 2 months of back and forth, including multiple phone interviews and two different design tests. The process overall was very unprofessional. The first phone interview I had set up, the interviewer never called me. A week later, they asked to set a new time with hardly any explanation as to why they had missed the first call. Later, I had video interview and was asked to postpone it minutes before the call. After multiple interviews and completing two (lengthly) design tests, they stopped contacting me. I had to email multiple times asking for feedback and got silence in return. Eventually I got a generic rejection email.
I have never experienced another company asking for this much before moving to in-person interviews. The design tests seemed excessive for an early stage, and the company seemed very disorganized in missing/rescheduling interviews.
