The interview process at OpenText typically includes a design exercise–based round followed by a panel discussion.
In the design round, candidates are given a problem statement on an A4 sheet. The duration of this exercise is usually around 1 hour. During this time, candidates are expected to:
* Understand and clarify the problem
* Identify the target users and their goals
* Define use cases and user flows
* Create Information Architecture (IA)
* Sketch low-fidelity wireframes
* Explain assumptions, constraints, and design decisions
The focus is not on visual polish, but on structured thinking, problem-solving, and UX fundamentals.
After completing the exercise, a panel interview follows where interviewers:
* Ask questions based on the problem-solving approach
* Deep dive into the wireframes, use cases, and IA
* Evaluate how decisions were made and trade-offs considered
* Discuss past projects, real-world challenges, and design impact
* Assess communication, collaboration, and UX maturity
Overall, OpenText’s interview process strongly emphasizes design thinking, clarity of reasoning, and the ability to articulate design decisions, along with experience from previous projects.
