I applied online and then went through a total of 7 interviews PLUS homework. I met with the recruiter, then the hiring manager, then a panel interview. The process was lengthy and time consuming.
After all the hours I spent with them, I was told I did amazing and they really liked what they saw. I was then immediately ghosted after the last round. All emails to the hiring manager and recruiter for followups went unanswered.
With all the time and energy I spent for them, a simple thank you but no thank you would have been nice. If they can't even manage a decent response, I can't imagine how well they are to work with. Maybe I dodged a bullet.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kendo in Jan 2025
Interview
After 3–4 interview rounds plus a project, the process ended with a surprisingly rude and dismissive email from HR regarding work I had completed based on the team’s own direction and feedback. The tone of the message honestly said more about the company culture than anything else.
The interview experience itself was also disappointing. Several interviewers seemed uninterested throughout the process, and during the final presentation, one person got up and walked away mid-presentation, which was incredibly disrespectful considering the amount of time and effort candidates are expected to invest. There also seemed to be a general lack of professionalism and coordination overall. The interview panel itself arrived late and appeared more focused on getting through the process than genuinely engaging with candidates.
Overall, the experience felt impersonal, disorganized, and far below what I expected from a company owned by LVMH...
I applied online. I interviewed at Kendo (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview was held in their office and took about 2 hours. Questions were not difficult and similar as in all interviews. Tell more about yourself and so on...My overall experience was really good.
