Kenandy Interview Questions
& Process

So first there was this phone screening interview that lasted like 30-45 minutes. They asked me about my past projects and why I wanted to be an integration engineer, and how I'd be a good fit for the role based on my experience. Also, some questions about web services. Then, about a week later, I went onsite and had 5 interviews back-to-back, each 30 minutes long, with 10 different people in total (2 people per interview). The first two interviews were strictly technical. I had to show them an app I built on Salesforce and also work through some algorithmic and coding questions. The other three interviews were more about how things are done at Kenandy, my past work, and team-related processes.

I spoke to HR/hiring manager and got a good impression. Then I met with a C-level executive who seemed biased against my current company, and the conversation felt like it was full of bias. I didn't get the job because of where I work. The hiring manager and HR were aware of the bias the whole time, so I'm unsure why I was even interviewed. My interactions with the C-level executive weren't based on principles I use, but on theories from experts. I would have considered declining an offer anyway, so I guess it's good it didn't work out. It seems like the company is top-heavy and not open to new ideas, which isn't ideal for a startup.

The interview process was standard with four steps. First a recruiter screen, then HR, then the hiring managers, and finally an offer. Both the company and I knew exactly what we were seeking from both ends (as employee and employer). At the end of the day, after experience, education, and skill set are assessed, it's about chemistry -- how well you can work with the other person. People work for people!

This was about a 2-hour interview with 4 Lead engineers. It involved Modeling/White boarding and Coding samples. Topics covered included Algorithms, JS Remoting, Triggers, Apex testing, and OOPS.
