The process itself was well-organised on the surface, and the people I spoke with were professional. But there were inconsistencies throughout that made it difficult to trust the feedback.
Deadlines for decisions were given and then missed without explanation. The scope of the final round changed from what had been communicated earlier. And the stated reason for the outcome felt like a polite way to close the door rather than an honest one.
I came away with the impression that the role’s requirements were not fully defined internally before hiring began, which made it hard to know what was actually being evaluated. For anyone going through their process, I would suggest asking very specific questions about the role’s scope and decision timeline upfront, and not reading too much into positive signals along the way.
Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Formalize (Copenhaga, Região da Capital) em jan. de 2026
Entrevista
The process starts with a 30-minute introductory conversation to understand the candidate’s background and overall fit.
After that, there is a 30-minute online meeting with the Head of Design, which is slightly more technical and focuses more on design thinking and experience.
The next step is the assessment phase. This includes a short personality assessment used mainly for team building and to help tailor interview questions, rather than as an elimination step. It is followed by a one-hour technical session where the candidate presents and discusses a past project with the Head of Design and other designers.
Finally, there is an in-person office visit in Copenhagen to meet the team and get a sense of the working environment and overall team dynamic.
