NFX interview questions

I was approached through LinkedIn. Initial conversations where upfront and honest about what the role required. The last task was to solve a design exercise, at my own pace. Some flags: - Asking to solve a design challenge about their current product is a no-no. That introduces biases, forces one to make risky assumptions, it's constraining, and overall just a wrong approach to gauge someone's experience and capacity. Learned my lesson. - Interviewers where not experienced enough to be able to remove previous biases and institutional knowledge of the platform. Questions and follow ups where too specific. - Challenge was not compensated. - Salary range and title were not clear upfront. I was told it was DOE. I guess on how well I solved the challenge? - I get that it's a small team and that chaos and scrappiness are to be expected, but product designers should never abandon their design-thinking process and its dogmas. You grow them and take them with you wherever you go. Finally, after getting the canned rejection email, asked for feedback and never got a response.

Smooth and speedy interview process. I interviewed with the VP of People, the hiring manager, 2 of the managing partners and the Head of Product. I really enjoyed the candidate experience because it was unfussy and everyone was very professional. I interviewed with a diverse group of people that really gave me the a taste of what it would be like to work with the team. After accepting the offer, they were quick to give me on boarding information and even welcomed me right away to the team. I’m super excited and I don’t even start until next month!
