PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:
We require all applicants to work on and submit a take home assignment first. We will not progress your application until we have received this.
Instructions
We invite candidates to record a case study walkthrough video. The video is expected to be 20 minutes in duration. You DON’T have to edit out stutters or add any motion graphic etc. Just a plain recording in your pyjamas will do. You can upload your video recording through our application form below.
If you are having trouble uploading the video, you can paste a private Youtube link (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/157177?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en), a Google Drive link (https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494822?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en), or a Loom link (https://www.loom.com/) on the application form too.
Why we ask for a pre-recorded presentation
- It helps establish a shared understanding of your work between you and our interviewers ahead of the first interview.
- It allows us to ask more informed questions about your experience and work during the interview process.
- Generally, we avoid using meetings as a means to present. Instead, we record or type our thoughts and use meetings as Q&A. This exercise provides you with an opportunity to experience this style of work.
Presentation topics
1) A short self-introduction, and a high-level overview of one piece of work.
2) We want to understand:
- The goals of the project
- Structure of the team you were a part of
- What you personally did on the project
- Your process and methodology
- The challenges you faced, and how you approached them
- How you synthesized research data to inform product and design decisions
- The final output and its impact on the business and to the users
- Your reflections and lessons learned
