901 lead designer interview questions shared by candidates

Of all the companies I interviewed with at the same time, Ripple's interview process was the longest but the communication was very smooth and the team moved very fast in each stage of the interview so the experience was surprisingly great. I don't think the interviews were difficult but I do think the team genuinely cares about the culture and wants to know about the candidate thoroughly before giving the offer. It could feel impatient if you are talking to many other companies but I found the process is pretty revealing in terms of knowing the company offerings and company/team culture.

Because the questions were canned, sometimes they made no sense in the context of the job. "how have you worked with consumer insight before, and how has having their imput changed what you were doing - give examples". Well, I was working for consumers and they were paying me so every day I was making those changes minute by minutes as dictated by the consumers, so that was my reality every minute and as such is hard to describe in the "epic moment" they seemed to be expecting. they could not understand this, as they are very sheltered from the very consumers they are trying to please. They don't understand small business. If you come from there be aware that these long-timers are far removed from who they want to please and are sort of behind on current practices. the interviewers who were not long-timers deviated from the canned script and I think it was more effective in teasing out why I could be a better candidate than someone else. That canned script was pretty crappy and a few of the interviewers saw that in the first few minutes while others "toed the company line" and got my stock answer because they asked the stock question. That was a waste of both of our times.
