Average Negative New Zealand

After a recruiter chat, I moved into a design-focused path that felt structured but also a little at odds with itself. The process included a take-home exercise that asked for end-to-end thinking: wireframes and flows, high-fidelity and interactive prototyping, plus ideas for how the concept could be implemented with some business strategy baked in. I tried to cap my time, but the work still took me about 6–8 hours, and I wasn’t compensated for it.

Before presenting the take-home, I had a pre-alignment meeting with a design lead where the direction narrowed quickly. I ran a design-thinking workshop and ended up prioritizing a single theme—social impact—over feasibility and business impact. I carried that through into my final presentation and shared it with everyone in the room, including the design lead. What surprised me was the final feedback: I was criticized for prioritizing social impact too much, even though that emphasis had been explicitly given to me.

My experience started with a lot of structure. Before each stage, I was given resources to prepare, and the people I spoke with—especially the hiring managers and recruiters—were upfront and clear about the process. That made it feel easier to stay focused instead of guessing what they were looking for.

When I reached the early steps, HR also made a point of briefing me on how the interview would flow, which helped me feel ready rather than thrown into the unknown. Even when the schedule took time, the communication about expectations was consistent.
