Facebook Product Designer Interview, Weaker whiteboard challenge performance...
I recently had an on-site interview for a mid-senior level designer role at FB. My perception of my performance are as follows: - Presentation = Very strong - Background = Very strong - App Critique = Strong - Whiteboard Challenge = OK / fair / On the weaker side I don't think I necessarily failed - I still followed steps to understanding the question, user needs, business perspective, ideate scenarios / different solutions, enumerated use cases, built a rough site-map, flows, etc. - so I think I still came up with a decent solution, but was challenged by the interviewer along the way, and called me out for not thinking about certain user groups at the very beginning, and he generally facilitated moving our discussion along... Did I torpedo my chances of receiving an offer? Any advice based on other's experience with the FB interview process would be greatly appreciated! #facebookdesign #design #interviews #ui/ux
Interviewers are trained to ask clarifying questions to get the signal they need. If they ask you questions or point out gaps in your thinking, thatโs not necessarily bad in of itself, but how you react to that can either help or hurt your evaluation. The actual solution isnโt really that important, itโs more about how you worked with the person during the whiteboard.
Makes sense. I like to think that I was very receptive to his feedback and criticisms during the interview, incorporating aspects that he proposed and thought were interesting. Hopefully, the interactions I had with him came off as collaborative and facilitatory.
Same thing happened to me. I got an offer, just not at the level I wanted. Didn't accept
What was the challenge?
Did you get the offer?
Iโm a UX designer at google and Iโve made a video to talk about how to nail whiteboard interviews. Hope this helps: https://youtu.be/t2J4h21dFhk
