The entire interview process lasted around 4 weeks, which I personally believe wasn’t necessary but occurred due to multiple rescheduling issues on CreditSprings behalf. The process was split into 4 stages, first brief chat which was quite easy with simple questions regarding experience and skills, I enjoyed this chat as it was quite relaxed and seemed like a place I would enjoying working at. I was then asked to compete a 1 week design challenge, personally I believe unpaid design challenges are unethical as they benefit those with additional spare time and not currently working. The design challenge was relatively extensive requiring multiple deliverables related to a fictional banking app. I was worried that this could more than just a design challenge and these ideas could be used on the actual app, another issue related to design challenges. After completing this I presented the challenge to members of the design team of which were very friendly and positive throughout the presentation. I received really good feedback and the team was very welcoming. After this I was invited to a final chat with the CDO, this was only 30 mins so felt very rushed and somewhat unprepared on their side - I left this interview with an odd feeling that a choice had already been made prior as there was no enthusiasm or much positivity throughout. Overall the creditspring team was friendly and welcoming but I was disappointed with the lack of professionalism regarding organisation, preparation and clarity of interview content.
