I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KORE Software in Mar 2024
Interview
Pros:
- The communications during the video interviews were super clear. You would know when you get a response of what format.
- The vibe from the team members was nice, open and chill. They are willing to share details of the work
Cons:
- Communications offline is one-way. You can rarely hear back from what you inquire.
- As there was no HR involved in the whole process, there is no such thing as salary/benefit negotiation. When your expectations upset the hiring manager, you will lose candidacy even if they promised a verbal offer earlier.

Process Overview:
1. Screening done by hiring manager (15 min)
2. Take-home SSIS task (pretty easy technical-wise, but need to pay attention to details)
3. Technical interview + bq with team (1 hr)
4. If waitlisted, another round of technical interview, similar to 3 (1 hr)
5. Casual sync on salary expectations (15 min)
