I generally did a google search of all the google design exercises and found a bunch on medium and other places. Some of them have done a really good job of solving it. But, when I go look them up on LinkedIn, none of them have made it to google.
I am curious about the selection process for interaction designers. What do they look for in a design exercise? What are some aspects they look in a designer? In the on-site interview process, how does each step come into play?
Can someone here please share some insights ? Would love some tips too. :)
TIA 🙏

Tips:
1. Whenever possible ask for the ample time (2 weeks) before it’s due. Unfortunately, no one cares how quickly you did the work, that’s harder to judge, they will judge quality only. So spend a lot of time on it.
2. Doing the work is 1/3 of the score IMO, how it’s presented is 2/3 (my opinion not official at all). Spend more time on the presentation. Get feedback, iterate.
3. Reference like it’s school. I did this the last time and I feel like it landed well. When making a statement or talking about a design principle or why it’s effective, reference the research, case study, or wiki or whatever to back it up.
4. Practice timing, they are always late so plan for missing out on 10 mins.
5. Signal these qualities during interviews and project: no ego, curious, ethical & empathetic, and thorough.
6. Talk like a pm make sure to have project pm stuff covered like assumptions, feasibility, next steps, etc.
Anyway, what you are seeing is reverse survivorship bias. No one who made it gonna publish their results. And most people that do publish them prob spent ages after their "actual" interview refining to make it seem better than it actually was.
