      Product Designer Interview

      21 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Barcelona
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Semrush (Barcelona) in May 2023

      Interview

      Good company, interesting assignement (paid) and a good feedback provided by the team. During the interview, the team wasn’t really interested. They didn’t answer the emails in a long time. The assignement doubts were unsolved. They paid the assignement late and the quantity didn’t match with what they told me.

      Question 1

      What is your superpower? What is the worst behavior a design colleage can have?

      Product Designer Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush in Sept 2024

      Interview

      Got rejection after the HR call in a form of a template message. I asked for feedback to understand why I was rejected, but the HR never replied, instead I received a link to a recruitment process feedback form. Ew. A year ago, I also had a chance to interview with Semrush, and honestly, it was the messiest and most chaotic hiring experience of my life. HR ignored my emails, replied late, and canceled interviews at the last minute. What outrageous unprofessionalism and disrespect for candidates. I’ll never recommend Semrush as a workplace to any of my friends. Also, no relocation option anymore.

      Product Designer Interview

      9 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush

      Interview

      The interview process in question had two distinct parts: an interview and a take-home assignment. The interview experience was excellent. The questions asked were unique and did not have definitive "correct" answers, making the conversation enjoyable and engaging. It was more about discussion than presenting a specific skillset. Unfortunately, the take-home assignment was the complete opposite. It contradicted what a product designer should be doing and disregarded the principles of understanding users. The task lacked clear objectives and expectations, and there was no explanation for its purpose. I attempted to gather more information by emailing the team, but was told to come up with any necessary details on my own. After submitting the assignment, they provided feedback. It was unclear if the designers even knew that HR was forwarding their comments to candidates. Examples of feedback I received included "the feeling that he misunderstood the task and made the wrong screen" and "we would like to see more of the marketing side of design". Another issue I encountered was the slow feedback process. I had to remind the team several times before receiving a response, which took about two weeks in total after submitting the Figma file. They also say that they pay for the assignment, but after failing the task, they start ghosting you, so I don't think that you can count it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Assignment: We all have certain irritating habits that annoy others. Among the many parallel universes, there is one where such habits are a matter of pride—people try to annoy as many others around them as possible. They actively exercise their maliciousness and eagerly measure who is going to beat who. There are even annual championships in annoyance! For this universe, we decided to create Toxiccity. Your goal: To give the inhabitants of this universe the ability to track their progress, see the progress of their competitors, and keep track of the gap that’s left until receiving the Chief Annoyance Cup. Our target audience is people aged between 15 and 35 who are committed to a toxic lifestyle. The audience is comprised of 65% men, 33% women, and the rest are non-binary. Users are social, active, and have a competitive spirit. We’ve already collected data on annoyance ratings. You can find it in this table. What needs to be done: Visualize data from the table that will be displayed to the user. Note that table visualization is not necessarily just a spreadsheet. It can be graphs, pie charts, etc. Form two to three interface hypotheses about how the interface will affect or stimulate the desired user behavior. Explain why your solution is a good one. Explain how you plan to test the hypotheses. Example of the interface hypothesis: The user needs to see only the very top list of the table to make a quick conclusion about their position in the ranking without wasting a lot of time. Hypothesis test: See how many users scroll to X row in GA events analytics. Prepare the layout to submit for development. It’s important for us that the layout includes the state cases (empty, loading, error, hover, full, etc.) and everything is prepared for the frontend engineer’s work.

      Dear Sender, The Team is currently working on your case. You’re right, there were some problems with payment on our side, but we’re doing our best to resolve the situation. We’d like to reassure you once again, as all candidates can 100% count on being compensated for their work. As for the comments that you received from the Design team - we didn’t change them, they were forwarded directly from the team to the candidate. This is our usual process that keeps the flow transparent, no mistakes here. We appreciate you highlighting both pros and cons and sharing your experience with us. It will certainly be helpful for future candidates and employees. We're truly sorry for any inconvenience. Yours, Semrush Team.
