I was contacted to come onsite. We agree to a time a week in advance. The night before my interview, literally at about 7:30 pm, I get an email saying that YouVisit has to cancel this interview. It said that they have selected another candidate for this position.
First of all, if that was true, why would you select another candidate without even hearing out the candidate you already have scheduled the next day?
Second of all, this company continues to post about this position on all the job sites daily. So I have absolutely no idea why they felt the need to single me out and screw over my day like this by rejecting me without even meeting me, after they scheduled an interview.
I had to move around meetings at my current position for this, as well as take half of a personal day off from work.
It was the most unprofessional experience I've ever had with a company in the interview process.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at YouVisit (New York, NY) in Dec 2016
Interview
Screen, phone call with director, test, and in-person. The interview process felt as if they were trying to talk me into joining the company rather than having an honest conversation about the role. The test was long and felt like speculative work.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at YouVisit (New York, NY) in Dec 2016
Interview
1. HR phone Interview : discussed about my design background, design process, team work, past work, recognitions, etc etc
2. Design task : Redesign an existing app ( show the design process, wire frames, lo-fi prototype) send your redesign pdf ( you will get two days time)
3. Onsite Interview : 1.presentation on the previous design task
2.followed by a design exercise
3.one on one interview with HR
4. one on one interview with a senior designer
It was a positive experience, but at the end I feel, it was waste of time, I thought I was about to get the job but they said no without giving any valid reason. Through the interview process they showed interest and at the end I feel it was unfair. waste of time.
