Reddit Product Designer interview experience

It surprised me because the usual recruiter screen didn’t happen first—I’d already been invited to meet someone from the design team right away. The chat went well; we talked about what I’d done and what the next step would look like, and I was told a whiteboard challenge was coming.

A week later I went back for the whiteboard. The prompt was about making public transportation less confusing and easier to use, and I was interviewed by the design head plus two other design managers. I was nervous at the start, but they were welcoming and asked thoughtful follow-ups that helped my ideas move.
