I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kendo (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Phone interview - followed up with Excel Test.
In person interview with 6 ... YES 6 people (over kill)
The list of people to meet and interview with, was NOT even correct. They were scrambling to find people to meet and interview me. Even the poor interviews didn't know why or what to discuss with me. After all the interview confusion, I sent followed up thank you letters and did not even get a No Thank You. They didn't even have the professional etiquette to let me know they were not intersted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Typical text book question
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kendo (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
1st point of contact was with HR Recruiter. Conversation about my experience. Past that round, Zoom interviews set to talk with 2 people. Interviews were more conversational about my experience and situational questions ... Tell me a time when ... or How would you handle ... Next step was to take a Excel Planning Test.
Had 1 day to complete and send test back. Never received confirmation from Kendo on receipt of test. Had to send follow up email to confirm they received it. After a few days, they finally confirmed receipt. I sent another follow up email about next steps and feed back on the Excel Planning Test. Never heard from Kendo. I can say officially they have ghosted me.
Question to Kendo ... how hard or difficulty is it for your teams to be considerate/polite in updating/providing candidates the same respect that us as potential employee share with you? Please take the time to let candidates know it's not a good fit and thank them for their time .
