Kong Software Engineer interview questions

The interview process was 6 rounds and required a significant amount of time and effort. After investing that much into the process and making it all the way to the final round, you would expect a certain level of professionalism and respect from the company. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with Kong. After the final round, communication completely stopped. About 1 and 2 weeks later, I was contacted again and told someone would schedule a call to walk me through the result, but that call never happened, and there was no further followup. I understand teams are busy, and candidates are too. But repeatedly setting expectations and failing to follow through reflects poorly on the company and the candidate experience. There are many strong companies out there that value candidates’ time and communicate professionally throughout the process. Based on my experience, I would think carefully before investing this much time with Kong again, whether as a candidate or when evaluating technical solutions in the future.
