Very simple. Not much. It can be improved. It had several bad questions. Some were not working . Their own system was not working well lol. So the interview experience was really bad to be honest. I don’t have much to say.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KAYAK in Oct 2024
Interview
The recruiter sent me a take-home assignment and require me to finish it within 5 business days. There is no introduction call or other interactions. After I finish the assignment, the recruiter became ghosted and never heard any updates. It seems they are not going to proceed the hiring process. Those assignments are like been sent by bots.

The interview process was smooth and professional until the final step. Unfortunately, during this stage, the interviewer seemed unprepared, relying solely on my CV for information rather than conducting a structured discussion. The questions felt random rather than tailored to the role, and there was no clear agenda.
Additionally, the interviewer was unaware of the scheduled duration, and the meeting ran twice as long as planned. Even when I pointed out that we had exceeded the allocated time and needed to conclude, the interview continued. Given the professionalism of the earlier stages, I had expected this final step to be equally well-organized.
