I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kik (Waterloo, ON) in Sept 2016
Interview
A few emails and then a phone interview. The interviewer sounded unenthusiastic and annoyed. He told me he will get back to me in a day or two. it's been 4 months now :)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What is the most difficult challenge you had to overcome recently
Asked my friend to refer me. He referred me to his manager, but manager said he can't proceed because I was rejected few months ago. I never had any interview with KIK. One recruiter contacted me few months back but she kind of became irritating after learning about my salary. I am guessing she is the one who made this entry in the system. Kik and I both are at loss here and it's not our fault.
