The final interview stage involved several one-on-one interviews. I started off with the hiring manager (odd because: 1) I've already talked to this individual, should probably wait until there's more material to talk about; 2) if it doesn't go well, then what? I end up wasting everyone else's time). The other interviews started off with each person spending, say, 20mins going over their own CV's (off-putting and not a good use of time). There wasn't coordination among the interviewers, as many asked repetitive and/or irrelevant questions. All interviewers were at the same level. Typically, an interviewee is allowed the opportunity to talk to a peer for 'real talk'. This interview process is not effective and doesn't put either side in an opportune position. Very amateurish...

I was referred to HR via an employee. The process from start to finish took approximately three months and interviewed with a total of five people including HR. It was pretty straightforward. HR or some other entity gives pre-determined questions to the interviewer and 3 out of the 4 managers asked the same question, which was the first one listed on their pre-approved list. There were two distinct sections; behavioral and experience. After receiving notice that I did not get the job, HR sent a questionnaire, three times, asking for interview process feedback. Separately, since I travelled from my home, I was told that I should complete a travel expense request to be reimbursed for any expenditures incurred during the process. After many requests and one follow-up, K-C has not refunded my very modest fees, car mileage and road tolls. I would suggest that travelers request a stipend upfront in order to eliminate this same experience.
