      Industrial Designer Interview

      3 Dec 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Brooklyn, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uncommon Goods (Brooklyn, NY) in Sept 2018

      Interview

      Human Resources / Talent Recruiter was on top of things and very positive / helpful. In person interview was haphazard & seemed like team was unprepared for me. Space was split between mostly white designers with nice office and mostly black warehouse workers with a grimy work space. Not the best look for a company expressing progressive beliefs. Made me wait in the somewhat intimidating industrial space with security guards for about an hour before I even saw the much nicer design office.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What my favorite product was on their website.

      Question 2

      Met with about 5 different design and marketing people who all asked about the same questions about my work history.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uncommon Goods in Aug 2021

      Interview

      First a call with Hr then they send you to the head of design, if they like you then they reach out for a zoom. Then from there they decide if they will hire. But if they choose not to hire you they will ghost you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Just asked about myself and background and design process.

      Hello, thank you for submitting your feedback. We are glad to have been able to meet and have a conversation with you to learn a lot more about your skills and experience. Our hiring process for each year round hire we make is extensive and does require some time and discussion amongst our team as we look to ensure we make the best choice for Uncommon Goods. We apologize if there was a delay in the turnaround of your update but we always look to send out some form of communication updating all our candidates on their progress. We will look to continue to improve our candidate experience. We are glad to hear the interview difficulty was a good experience though and thank you very much for your time. We encourage you to apply to other positions that may be or may become available too and we wish you all the best with your job search.
