      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kong in Mar 2020

      Interview

      Beware of ghosts!!! I did 4 rounds of interviews with them plus a video demo that I had to record and the company ghosted me like a bad Tinder date. This startup really has maturity problems. I would avoid wasting your time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical questions about microservices, APIs and kubernetes.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Kong

      Interview

      Ghosted after two rounds. Applied directly. Recruiter reached out to me a week later about the same role and wasn't aware I already applied. Did the initial recruiter screen, hiring manager interview, then peer interview. Followed up multiple times and never heard feedback.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you consider yourself an expert with k8s and ingress controllers?

      First of all, please let me apologize for this experience and this is absolutely unacceptable on our end. We value the candidate experience and our TA leader and I are extremely passionate about trying to ensure that this type of experience never happens. Second, if you are comfortable doing so, would you mind reaching out to Chuck or I so that we can investigate WHY this happened. We are both extremely disappointed that you had this experience with our team. We wish you the best of luck and hope that you and yours stay safe and healthy the rest of 2020.
