Very easy going phone and in person interview. Nice managers I spoke with. Was told I’ll hear back the following week and heard nothing. Just would’ve appreciated a rejection email, especially after I reached out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about your job experience within graphic design?
I interviewed at The Washington Post (Washington, DC)
Interview
I did a design test. it was not too difficult. They had different types of things to design. it look me 3 hours to do the work and i think i did a good job.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Washington Post in Sept 2021
Interview
Phone screen with HR followed by a Zoom interview with the hiring manager. Both went very well and after the Zoom interview, HR reached out to give me a design test for the "simulation round." Most designers consider tests like these to be a bit offensive (it suggests that our portfolios of past work which we have spent years making are not "enough"), nonetheless I agree to the test. HR required that I take the test that day and return it within 24 hours, despite the fact that it was a weekday and I work a full-time job so had very little time to complete the test (which, by the way, was equivalent to a week-long project). I returned the test on time and then was ghosted by HR and never received a formal rejection or response, even after following up a week later. Complete waste and disrespect for candidates' time.
