      Product Designer Interview

      9 Jun 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cruise (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      The main interview I did was with a design lead on their side, and a more mid level designer underneath her. I did my portfolio presentation, then the first question she asks were if I designed the hardware for the product I had presented. I said no and explained my specific contribution, then she revealed she knew the guy who designed it. It really put me off that she was trying to trick me into taking credit for someones work. I kinda got the vibe she already had someone she wanted to hire and had to just get through this interview with me, and was just looking for any excuse to not hire me. (I used the exact format and presentation for my Google interview the same day and got and offer later just fine) The company seems to have a cool product which was why I was excited to try out there. And I was pretty much in the same exact field so it seemed like a good fit. But they really need to do a better job with their interview process / strategy if they want to hire good talent, it's a two way street, you need to convince talent that this is a good fit for them as well.
