One of their recruiters reached out to me on LinkedIn and called me in for an interview. First I met with her and a senior designer. Then the second time it's a zoom with three other people and the final interview they asked me to create a presentation - I had to design an apartment and then submit it in a week then present it at the showroom. Honestly they knew from the beginning that I am over their budget (I mentioned at the start I am asking for 90k, as per research,but they want to pay 60k for this position, as per my conversations with friends who work there ) however they proceeded to waste my time by asking me to design a space simply so that they can steal my ideas. One of the designers even mentioned it during the presentation "oh I'm gonna use that idea" They told me a few hours after that they are not going to give me an offer because I am out of budget - they knew from the beginning! Don't waste your time - they're a showroom with high turnovers and redundancies, they just want to seem like an A-List design firm. A few months later another one of their recruiters reached out to me on LinkedIn - they should have a running list of whose already been contacted! PS - They buy their items from MGBW who are now bankrupt and closed so I guess they need to find a new supplier.

Had three interviews - two with the store manager and one with the regional manager. Overall casual feel, but certainly making sure that the person can handle the job when they interview and don't sugar coat.
