1 Phone interview with HR, then 1 face-to-face with 2 Senior UX designers.
The face-to-face interview was alright. The 2 designers seemed competent and easy to deal with. They were about my age so the whole interview was really informal and they made me feel at ease.
The first thing they asked me was to draw a UX process flow on a whiteboard, which was pretty easy and I got some good feedback from the interviewers.
Then they pulled out 3 piles of cards: 1 with "devices", 1 with "user goals", and 1 with "target users". We pulled one card from each pile and we all had 2-3 minutes to come up with ideas for a product/app/website. This was fun. Again I got some good feedback and it was nice to see that the ideas I came up with were not that different from theirs.
Then they asked a bunch of standard questions about my previous roles and my skillset.
I received feedback from HR maybe 1 week later and did not get an offer. The reasons were a bit vague to be honest; the one thing that struck me was that they pointed out my lack of front-end development skills and experience. I found this ridiculous, since I interviewed for a UX design job. Also, there was no mention of coding skills being required in the job ad.
I found this unprofessional and a waste of my day. I had to take half a day off from work that I could have used to do something more pleasant.
Actually, if a company that consider themselves to be "tech" still don't know the difference between UX and front-end development, maybe my rejection was a blessing in disguise. I dodged the bullet.
