UX DesignerInterview Experiences

Portfolio review first where they went through three of my case studies in detail, pushing on why I made specific decisions at each interaction point. Then a design challenge about improving onboarding for new Shopify merchants, 45 minutes to sketch out a user flow and present it. The interviewer pushed on the reasoning behind every design decision, intense but good practice. Then a values interview which felt like a genuine conversation about what you care about and how you work, not a box checking exercise. The whole thing was about 3 hours across two sessions. Shopify design interviews are different from what I'd done elsewhere

Portfolio review where we did a collaborative problem solving duet thing with a designer, that was fun then the life story interview which is them asking about your life and how you got to where you are

Process took 3 weeks they were slow to schedule next rounds but the people I met with were all friendly. Questions like walk me through this block of JavaScript and CSS nothing I haven't seen before but be careful about very specific syntax

HR screen then manager interview then technical, the technical had a LeetCode medium or could've been hard idk problem about shortening file paths and some resume questions and they wanted to know why Google and about a time I received negative feedback. Three rounds for a co-op seems like a lot.
