The interview process was lengthy and lacked clear structure. The stages included: HR screening (30 minutes), during which detailed case study discussions were requested without prior clarification that this would be part of the screening scope. A 7-day take-home assignment covering a full UX/UI process. A 1-hour interview with the team/manager. An additional 3-day UI take-home assignment that was introduced later, without prior notice, and was not a continuation of the previous task. An onsite interview to present the case study and cultural check. In total, the process took approximately one month and involved five rounds. For a startup level, this felt excessive. More importantly, the expectations and full interview scope were not communicated clearly from the beginning, which made it difficult to manage time and preparation. While I appreciate the constructive feedback provided at the end, the overall hiring process felt unorganized and inefficient. Greater transparency and clearer planning would significantly improve the candidate experience.
