Was contacted by in-house recruiter on Linkedin who i spoke with via email and over the phone before meeting head of business unit and went from there. Pretty standard process. I enjoyed the experience and insight despite not being successful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you manage multiple deadlines from multiple workstreams.
Awful. the man interviewing me asked whether I was single and my age. His motives could have been was sexual harassment, discrimination or both. When I baulked he told me his age (67) and he told me his role in the company was as the company hype man. I was told it would be a regular occurrence that you could go home after 10pm but that they'd pay for dinner and a taxi. At the time the graphic design job was low paid.
He didn't even look at my portfolio and the female graphic designer there who was also interviewing me didn't call him out or say anything about this weird behaviour.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oktra Ltd (London, England) in Sep 2022
Interview
First I've met for a coffee with a head of designs and then I was invited to meet the MD and the team. I had to run through my project portfolio and my process.
