I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Locale in Dec 2023
Interview
No streamlined process or procedures. Different people reaching out to you during each stage of the interview process with no advance notice or clear direction on next steps. Very loosey goosey, which I think is a sign of how they operate the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions on how you would handle certain situations, recent wins your proud of, how you'd manage different systems, etc.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Locale (Los Gatos, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
During this process, I had one screening interview, interviewed with the design manager, then another interview with the CEO and design manager, where I showcased a design challenge. It was fairly easy. The design challenge showcased my illustration skills as well.
So, I didn't actually make it to an interview with a person. Someone reached out to me via email to ask me to fill out what turned out to be an incredibly in-depth questionnaire which took me upwards of 4 hours to complete.
They responded within 24 hours letting me know they went in another direction. Understandable, however, it kind of feels like they'll just cannibalize all mine and all the other applicants' ideas.
This was a highly frustrating, bordering on labor-theft experience.
