      Product Designer Interview

      Feb 14, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Greenhouse Software (New York, NY) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Phone call with recruiter, phone call with Director of Product Design, 3 day design challenge, 4 hr on-site, then a final phone call with co-founder Jon Stross. There were no surprises. They were super clear on what they expect of you and it was one of the best interview processes I've gone through. Time flies by pretty quickly over the 4 hours. They give you one room throughout the whole interview with a carafe of water and the interviewers cycle in and out throughout the day, so you can really make yourself at home. Onsite conversations: 1) run through of product with a recruiter 2) Eng 3) PM 4) Structured culture-add interview w/ customer success manager and sales --- SUPER CASUAL COFFEE BREAK WITH USER RESEARCHER ---- 5) Presentation of design challenge with product design team 6) Another convo with Director of Product Design talking more about mgmt styles 7) Give feedback to recruiter

      Interview questions [6]

      Question 1

      Eng: How have you worked w/eng before? How do you handoff designs to eng? How big was eng team you worked with? I also went through my design challenge with him.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      PM: How have you worked with PMs before? Tell me about a time when research changed your design. Tell me about a time you disagreed with the product team? How do you balance design and business goals?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Culture-add interview: They have a list of culture-related questions somewhere on their blog and they asked me all of those. Tell me about a challenge you had. Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer. Tell me about a time you had to work with limited resources. Tell me about a time you accomplished a stretch goal? Tell me about a time your perspective was changed/shifted? Tell me about a time you delivered difficult feedback. Tell me about a time you helped s/o out but it didn't really impact your personal goals. Tell me about times you were most/least satisfied in work / personal life. .
      Answer question

      Question 4

      Design challenge presentation: Why do you think user group will use it? Why did you make these design choices? If you could do more research, what would you do? Just be able to defend design decisions / talk through the things you would do better.
      Answer question

      Question 5

      Dir of product: Why Greenhouse? Why product design? Biggest challenge you think you'll face first 3 months here? Tell me about a mentor who was critical in your success? Tell me about a time your manager gave you feedback and it helped you improve?
      Answer question

      Question 6

      Initial recruiter call: Tell me about a time you had to do a complicated trade-off? Tell me about a time you worked on a diverse team. Why Greenhouse?
      Answer question

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Greenhouse Software

      Interview

      The interview process was seamless. The talent person was proactive in telling me about what to expect and the next steps. There were just way too many rounds of interviews which prolonged the process. But everyone was super positive and gave me a really good idea of the role, scope and impact.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you handle systematic design problems at scale?

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Greenhouse Software (New York, NY) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Online zoom interview where the HR contact I interviewed with didn't turn on their camera. They are working on a DEI app and didn't move forward with my candidacy because they didn't like my answer that I believe in equality over equity. Great company.....

      Question 1

      Do you believe in our mission of DEI?

      Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience interviewing with us. Our goal is for our interview process to be as engaging and positive as possible, and it sounds like we missed the mark here. Typically, the first step in our process does not include having video on. This is in order to mimic a ‘phone screen’ before successful candidates would then move forward to the face-to-face interview stages; however, it sounds like this could have been more clearly communicated to you. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are forefront in how we build our product and how we show up in the work that we do; however, if that did not come across, we apologize. We will be sure to share your feedback with our team. If there’s anything else you’d like to share about your experience, please reach out at sean.delea@greenhouse.io.
