Entretien
Very lengthy interview process. First interview was a phone screening with HR, second was in person with 2 art directors, and third was a zoom call with potential supervisors. The interviews took place weeks apart.

Entretien
Very friendly and welcoming interviewers, in-person initial interview to share work and introduce yourself, then a design task related to the job position using actual photography and copy from a book, then a virtual follow-up interview meeting some of the wider team (this interview was a lot more question based and formal than the initial interview)

Question 1
The initial interview was less formal, it was more a case of introductions and sharing work (physical printed works and a digital portfolio). The virtual interview was way more formal and question based.

3 rounds of interviews, first with recruiter, then with the rest of the team, the recruiter interview was simples, the following interviews were more difficult, but still completely fine. The following interviews were with art directors.

Entretien
Really positive experience - they listened to me and made me feel at ease. I didn't have much experience in the field, but still made me feel valued. I didn't go further with them, but still felt that the experience was positive
