Simple straightforward interview. Employment expectations, responsibilities, schedule, and other matters were discussed during the interview. Questions were fair and no surprises. Interviewer simply asked for candidate to review their experience and how it is relevant to the role. If you're fairly comfortable with interviews, you'll have little trouble if any.

Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa 3x3 Design (New York, NY).
Entrevista
The interview mainly focused on standard questions regarding equity, bias, and my project experiences, and the interviewer's approach felt quite impersonal. Additionally, they asked about my positionality and approach when working with disadvantaged communities.

Entrevista
I applied for the Program Strategist role at 3x3 Design in January, anticipating an inclusive and respectful process from "a minority and women-owned organization" that touts its diversity and community focus. What transpired, however, was the most disappointing and disconcerting interview experience I’ve ever had.
The process began with a prompt reply and an initial interview, during which the principal’s distant demeanor left me unsure about my impression. Following a month-long silence, I was invited for what seemed to be the final interview. For this, I put considerable effort into a detailed presentation for their design challenge and provided three professional references, all of whom were contacted.
After this final interview, the communication from 3x3 was virtually non-existent. My follow-up attempts were met with a vague reply about ongoing decision-making, and a promised update on the decision by the following week, which never materialized. The absolute lack of closure, especially after involving my professional references, was not only unprofessional but deeply disrespectful.
This negative experience aligns alarmingly with the November 2023 Glassdoor review by a 3x3 researcher, painting a picture of exploitation—overworked and underpaid staff with little regard for their time and expenses. The review, coupled with my personal experience, underscores a stark disconnect between the organization’s public image of inclusivity and the actual internal practices.
This process has been illuminating, albeit in an unintended way. It has exposed a significant gap between 3x3’s professed values and their actual conduct towards candidates and employees. It’s important for potential candidates to be aware of this disconnect and approach opportunities at 3x3 with caution.
