I applied online. I interviewed at FreshBooks in Feb 2022
Interview
Really quick interview process. The recruiter was wonderful, no complaints there. Made it to the 2nd round (phone screen, then portfolio review). Met with design leadership and 1/4 of the interview time was taken up either talking more about themselves, asking me very little, or interrogating me about every single job I'd ever been at with prying questions and inappropriate requests that I go into more detail about why I chose to move on. Ultimately it made the interview slot run way over, with very little time to present my case study. Out of all interviews I've ever had, this comes 2nd to being the worst. Very little consideration to me as a candidate, with strong micromanagement vibes. Thinking back to the interview gives me anxiety. Really disappointing because I loved Freshbooks from a product standpoint before. Now, not so much.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Walk us through your process
2. Why did you leave every single company on your resume?
3. How do you work in remote environments?
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FreshBooks (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Starts with a 30-45 min phone screen followed by 1-2 in person interviews with the hiring manager and team members. If you are selected for further rounds, a take home design case study is provided which has to be presented after a week. If everything goes well, your final round is with the co-founder of the company which is mostly assessing your cultural fit and personality.
