BeReal. interview questions

In short. Avoid it. The interview process is highly unorthodox and fundamentally disrespectful of candidates' time. Right after a basic HR screening, they immediately assign a massive take-home design challenge. Do NOT waste your time doing this. They expect you to deliver a dedicated competitor analysis, high-fidelity, pixel-perfect Figma files, and a fully functional prototype redesigning their actual, live core product features. They claim this should take "6-8 hours," but to meet their absurdly high expectations for visual polish and strategic depth, it easily takes several full working days. Expecting candidates to dedicate days of unpaid work upfront heavily raises the suspicion that they are using candidates as free labor to farm product ideas and UI explorations. Furthermore, their design culture is inherently toxic. After submitting my work that I invested 4 working days, I received written feedback said it should be improved. I explicitly requested to meet for a design walkthrough to collaborate and elaborate on my design rationale. They flat-out refused, insisting on written feedback only. They expect candidates to blindly execute designs without any data input and actively avoid any two-way dialogue. As the result, I had to withdraw my application. I also read another review where a candidate managed to get a call with the CEO and was met with extreme disrespect. Consider this entire process a massive red flag and avoid it. The only credit I will give is that the HR associate always responded quickly and professionally.
