Interview
Lengthy interview process- met with multiple people, writing assignment, and presentation. Everyone was friendly but the process took a long time. The recruiter kept me informed of next steps along the way.

Question 1
How do you manage lots of stakeholders and slow moving processes?

Interview
Five rounds total, all relatively straightforward. One notable quirk: the interview order felt backwards compared to most tech companies. C-suite came first, with the actual decision makers saved for the end. Flipping that sequence would have made the process feel less like a time commitment upfront.
Questions were standard across the board, aside from one "design task" that turned out to be less about design leadership and more about surfacing frustrations with the current org structure. A bit of an odd inclusion. Overall a decent experience though. Everyone came across as sharp, capable, and genuinely friendly.

Question 1
Describe your leadership style. How do you approach research. How do you feel about design systems.

Easy to apply online. After that, you’d think I was saving lives.
The hiring manager opened his calendar to a short list of candidates, but it still took a month to get on his schedule due to limited availability—even though I immediately aligned with his open slots.
The interview itself went well—we ended up talking for a full hour instead of the scheduled 45 minutes. At the end, he said he was very interested in my background and wanted to move me to second-round interviews, noting that he was finishing first rounds the following week.
The process itself was excessive—five+ interviews before an offer? But I stayed engaged.
I sent a thank-you note and then… crickets.
No response to two follow-ups. No response even now.
Bad candidate experience. Bad personal and company brand.
