I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hopper (Toronto, ON) in May 2022
Interview
I got an interview invitation two days later after I applied for the position. Then, I had a screening interview with a recruiter after 4 days. It was a 45-minute virtual interview on Google Meet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Why do you want this position?
- Have you ever done UX research?
- Explain your experience you worked as a product designer remotely
- Salary expectation
It started with a recruiter call, which was pleasant, and then I was given a design challenge immediately. It would've been nice to be able to talk to the hiring manager first before jumping right into the design challenge.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hopper in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview process was quite lengthy and included a design challenge, which was only used during the initial round. Unfortunately, the manager’s call felt less like an opportunity to learn about me as a candidate and more like an attempt to verify I wasn’t a fit, which made for a disappointing and uncomfortable conversation.

Question 1
Why are you interested in this position and how does your past experience align with the role?
Applied online and interviewed online. Went through a screen call with HR, who was nice and welcoming. Then went through a portfolio review with the hiring manager.
The hiring manager didn’t seem to be interested in the work and responded plainly like a robot. Felt a bit disrespected. Got a rejection letter next day.
