Visual Designer at AOL
No Offer – Interviewed in Palo Alto, CA Jul 2012 – Reviewed Aug 3, 2012
Interview Details – The 6 hour interview process went smooth, but I felt my personal portfolio presentation was overly analyzed by people who didn't even have their own work public. Everyone was generally more critical than they should of been considering only 2 out of 8 of the interviewers had portfolios. I was shocked that I never received feedback after several attempts as to why they passed, even the recruiter didn't really know. Strange experience
