Applied for this position and was able to skip the standard pre-screen with Talent Acquisition. I participated in three rounds of interviews total.
The first interview was 10 days after first applying and with the hiring manager. She was great and we talked for about an hour. We covered the company’s history, the day-to-day team activities, my background, what to expect, etc. Very relaxed and informal conversation in the spirit of getting to know one another.
The second interview was nine days later with the department director. Unfortunately, that person was nearly 15 minutes late to the meeting, but we salvaged the time and I agreed to stay later than scheduled. This was another nice, mostly informal conversation designed to get to know one another. One thing I found concerning was that the hiring manager indicated a prioritization of work-life balance while this director suggested 60-70 hour work weeks weren’t unusual. Either way, they were very knowledgeable about the field and seemed like they would be nice to work for.
The third and final interview was seven days after the second. This was a skills assessment related to the role that included interpreting a few data visualizations and an on-screen Excel assessment (basic functions plus vlookup, pivot tables, etc.). This was fairly easy as I've been involved with analytics for over a decade.
Two weeks after the final interview, I was advised that the position had been cancelled and they were not moving forward with anyone. You will find that Kyndryl is very mature in a lot of ways for a "startup". They have a large workforce, are spun off from IBM, decent benefits, impressive revenue, etc. However, the reason I rated this whole experience as neutral is due to their inability to accurately forecast their headcount needs. We both invested hours into this process and to decide that you didn't need this role after all is a sign of immaturity.
If you're a new professional and need that first big job, I would suggest applying at the risk of wasting your time. If you're an experienced professional (grad degree and/or many years of experience), you may wish to look elsewhere.
