J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Sampler (Toronto, ON) en juil. 2020
Entretien
I applied directly through the company website and it roughly took 1 week to schedule the initial video interview.
After portfolio review for 30 mins, the panel proceeded with a technical round, which is not a common practice for a design position. Asking about HTML/CSS questions is fair, but asking what the colour is through hex or rgba notation is bit ridiculous. These things can be easily googled or entered into a design tool. The important questions to be asked are about design process, problem solving, and ux strategy. It is unsure what exactly they were gauging by asking such questions. Even though this startup seems great to work at, the quality of the interview definitely needs an upgrade.

The interview process was pretty straight forward and pleasant as well. I enjoyed meeting a number of team members and seeing the office (pre-pandemic). Everyone was very friendly and transparent with everything.

Just generic designer questions like talking about past experiences and diving into projects you've worked on before.

It took 2 weeks from the first interview to the final offer. In a time like this and in a field like design where the common practice is to run interviews over 3-4 weeks, sometimes even longer, this timeline is pretty impressive. The interview itself consisted of a panel. The interaction felt more like a conversation than an interview which really helped make me feel comfortable.
