      Designer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SSW (Neutral Bay)

      Interview

      They video-called me a few times and sent me some design exercises to complete before a proper in-person interview. When I arrived for the interview at their office in Neutral Bay, the manager introduced me to nearly all the team members, gave me a thorough tour, and assigned me a couple of coding tasks. Unfortunately, I only managed to complete one task, as the position I was applying for was a design role, not a developer position. Overall, they were extremely friendly. Even when the manager informed me that I didn’t get the job due to not finishing one of the tasks, he did so with a smile and encouraged me to apply again in the future. His lack of sensitivity and understanding of the stressful job-hunting process was evident, likely because he has spent a significant part of his life at the company. It was one of the most awkward, positively toxic, and frustrating experiences I've ever had.

      Hi Reviewer, We apologize you found the designer challenge so upsetting. We try to be as transparent during the interview process as we can, including the technical nature of our design roles. As a tech company, our designers need to also be technical due to the work they undertake for our clients. It is mentioned in the JD, and we always take the time to discuss that our designers need to have HTML, CSS, and Java skills in order to work for us. If we didn't make this clear enough from the beginning, we apologize and will ensure that this is more evident from the start. Thanks again for taking the time to let us know about your experience, Hopefully we can improve further from your feedback.
