I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nokia (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
Was recommended to the hiring manager by a common connection. They evaluated my portfolio and asked me to do a phone interview with the manager and head designer. Was then asked to do a short design challenge, and present it to them in a face-to-face interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The design challenge was quite complex, and they were good about asking critical questions about my reasoning. But honestly, getting approved by their background checkers was the most challenging part.
