I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zoox (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
1. Received email from recruiter
2. Had phone interview with hiring manager
3. Ghosted
After a 30 min phone interview with hiring manager that I admittedly kind of bombed I didn't hear anything back from Zoox. About two weeks later I reached out just to confirm if I would be moving forward or not and never received anything back. Just crickets.
I enjoyed my first call with the hiring manager. We discussed my background and the design process. However, the second round with a PM was the most unpleasant interview experience I've ever had. During the Zoom meeting, he didn't even turn on the camera! Did not show any respect. Furthermore, he had a limited understanding of this role. From our conversation, I could tell he thought they wanted a UI designer instead of a UX designer. It is also important for the interviewer to be trained and prepared. Professionals do not waste time.
The interview process was standard
1. Phone Screen
2. Interview with Hiring Manager
I'm assuming there are more steps but this is how far I've got. Each stage had about 10 questions and some of them were repeated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you know if you are designing the right solution?
