Can you walk me through your portfolio and talk about where you collaborated?

Not really a number of questions but I am looking for three things and I ask questions around those things. First is that they can explain not what they did but why they did it. Usually here I will pick something about their portfolio and ask around that. Second is to see how engaged they are in design. Do they think about it outside work. Usually I will ask them to tell me about a product they have recently used that nailed the UX and why. Third is if they have initiative. Do they go after problems or wait to be told what to do.

After a final interview, how many days after can I expect an answer from the recruiter?

At the end of the interview, the person told me I passed the interview and they were going to talk to the Director who’s a level under them. It’s a yes for them and they’re happy to work with me.

I also sent my references. I don’t know when I can expect an reply. Recruiters from that company aren’t really organised

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
