Entrevista
After applying, I received a generic email (not even addressed with my name) saying I had been "selected" for the next round. Instead of an intro call or recruiter screen, they immediately sent a 7‑day, unpaid design assignment. No conversation, no context, no chance to confirm mutual fit. This is not a respectful or standard hiring practice. I strongly recommend avoiding this process.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
They asked me to complete a lengthy, unpaid design assignment right away, without any intro call, pre‑screen, or discussion with the team.
As the first stage of the recruitment process, I received an exhaustive design challenge to be completed in 7 days. The challenge required the creation of several full-featured financial features with their corresponding wireframes, detailed interactions, components and design systems, and complete documentation.
My impression is that it would take at least a couple of full-time weeks to get the job done. To me, this kind of challenge makes me completely distrust GoQuant. Either they are very ignorant and don't understand the amount of work involved, or they just want to take advantage of you and get top design work done for free. Both alternatives speak terribly of them.

I applied online and was contacted to complete a 7-page design challenge within 7 days as the very first step of the hiring process. The assignment required designing multiple complex financial features, including wireframes, detailed interaction flows, components, elements of a design system, and extensive documentation.
Based on my professional experience, completing this work to a reasonable standard would require several full-time weeks, not a single week. This raised serious concerns about the company’s hiring practices. The scope of the task suggests either a lack of understanding of the effort involved in quality design work or an attempt to extract substantial unpaid labor from candidates.
I would strongly caution others against engaging in this process. The expectations are unrealistic, and the challenge appears to prioritize free work over a fair and respectful recruitment experience.
