I applied online. I interviewed at Kovalee (Paris) in Oct 2025
Interview
Transparent and respectful of the candidate time. I even got a quick final call getting feedback on the reasons why I didn't receive an offer. I did two ux whiteboard challenges and they were fun, no take-home assignments.

Interview
The interview process went well. First, I met with the HR and at the end of the interview, she invited me for the second round. I followed up twice, but I haven't heard from her for a week. Then she mentioned that they chose another candidate.

Interview
I had a mixed experience during the interview process. The first step was a nice HR screening, which lasted about 30 minutes. After that, I was asked to prepare a case study at home and present it to the manager a couple of days later.
When the meeting with the manager started, there was no introduction or effort to establish a respectful rapport. She jumped straight into the topic, and after asking just a couple of questions, the interview, which was supposed to last an hour, ended after only 25 minutes. Toward the end of the interview, she started wrapping things up, so I brought up the case study I had worked on. It was clear she wasn’t aware of it and seemed uncomfortable, which was surprising. I presented the case study, and then the call ended.
A few days later, I was informed that I wasn’t selected. My main concern is that if you're asking candidates to take time out of their schedules to complete a case study, it’s important to be aware of it in advance. The lack of preparation and the rushed nature of the interview left me with the impression that the company could improve its candidate experience. It's essential to remember that candidates are not just job seekers—they are talented individuals looking to contribute to the growth of the business. The interview process should be a two-way street.
