Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty standard 5 round interview process. All virtual and I spoke with different people on the team. They asked typical questions. I got to meet a lot of the team, and the HR team was great and handled all the coordination. No issues with the process.

Behavioral Presentation Technical Group Case

This company's hiring process was really bad. I applied for a consultant job in Bridgewater, NJ. I went through 6 interviews, including a 30-minute panel presentation. They then informally offered me an associate consultant job in NYC, without telling me the location changed or that my experience wasn't a fit. The salary was also lower than expected for an associate. HR was supposed to call about benefits but never did, and then I got an automated rejection. Two weeks later, I was asked to interview with a team leader. I asked if I was still being considered, and they said I should have already gotten an offer. The next day, I got a voicemail apologizing for the mix-up and saying I was still in the running, and asking if I was still interested given how they treated me. I said yes, and HR told me to contact them again next week if I didn't hear anything. I never heard back and was ghosted. The whole process took 1.5 months, was tiring, and had no communication about next steps or timelines. They clearly don't value potential hires.

Case Presentation Behavioral

It was a very straightforward interview process. It included a face-to-face interview, a case study, and a presentation with a partner. They asked about my experience and education, why I was interested in Kinapse, and my expectations. They also assessed my consulting skills with a case study that involved market sizing and industry analysis. The team was courteous regarding timing and arrangements. The interview process was quick.
