I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Poetic Systems (Houston, TX) in Jun 2023
Interview
A very typical sweetshop design agency that wants quantity and speed over any type of system or quality work. The interview process was standard, starting with a quick intro call with a hiring manager (30mins). The next step was an interview with the design team where anyone could ask questions, no real structure to the interview, it was a simple meet and greet to pick each other brains (1 Hour). After that, they gave a landing page to mockup in Webflow as a take-home assessment. The assessment wasn't too difficult, the problems lie within how it was set up and it was a very unfinished design with a bunch of gaps in type, spacing, and colors that didn't match the style guide, on top of this they just ask that you finish the page, make it fully responsive with interactions and then let them know how much time you spent on it. They also mention multiple times in the brief how they highly encourage over-achievers.
