Interview
As a designer, you will be expected to do a take home test regardless of your experience level. I can understand asking this from entry level designers but not if you have 5+ years of experience & have a full portfolio of work.

Interview
I didn't get to the interview stage and didn't make it through the resume screen but the approach of HR/ recruitment was nice. Cool company from the outside though and would be pleasant if the opportunity to apply pops up again.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at WillowTree (Columbus, OH) in Mar 2022
Interview
15 min phone screen with recruiter (amazing communicator and attitude, very honest and comfortable to engage with)
1 hour portfolio presentation with design director (interviewer was different than who I was originally scheduled with, not evident they had much context or understanding of my background or had even viewed my portfolio beforehand, their engagement/response with my presentation and design decision questions was limited, some dismissal for including a project that wasn't for a billable client)
30 minute design challenge instructions with VP design director (incredibly gracious and humble, collaborative and encouraging, much better experience than design director and obvious to me why they would have more authority and responsibility in the company than regional design director)
