I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kong (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2026
Interview
HR interview, quite chill. Asked several behavior questions, introduced the products and workflow, and explained what you will be doing, etc. It's pretty chill and fun. Recommend to this company at least.
