Interview
Interview was online with two of their senior designers. Mainly spoke through my projects with some general chat afterwards. Really nice experience with plenty of support offered along the way for my disability. They gave great feedback after the interview that was super constructive and will be incredibly helpful going forward.
The interviewer was friendly and felt comfortable talking to him. He asked mainly about my projects and portfolio and how the process went. He explained about the working environment and process.
