   Negative Experience

   Easy Interview

   Application

   I applied online. I interviewed at LeanIX (Germany)

   Interview

   First I got an unscheduled call from the HR manager and we set a date for the chat with the hiring manager for the role.
   
   Few of the (personal) negatives are:
   
   - design team works in Sketch
   - they have separated roles for UX and visual design
   - they do not seem to put much importance to a design system
   - there doesn't seem to be a design vision besides delivering features
   - there isn't a set standard for defining a designers seniority - it just depends on this one persons opinion if someone is senior or not
   
   The biggest red flag for me was that the design challenge was an actual task from their product. "But we won't use, I promise" was said in the interview and it just doesn't cut it for me. Also the manager said "it's good for the candidates to see what kind of tasks we have" - and no, I disagree. It's only profitable for leanIX, every candidate will loose not only their time but also risk their work being used for free.
   

   Interview

   Can you tell me a bit about your experiences? Are you familiar with research? What part of the design process do you prefer most doing? (UX/UI/research etc.)
