I applied online. I interviewed at Kalmar (San Pedro, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
The kalmar recruiter for this position is not very good and nonresponsive when requiring about my interview process. We did a 30-minute phone screen and after that ghosted me. I sent emails to follow up and nothing. I don't care if i get the job or not but don't leave candidates in the dark by not responding is the worst.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kalmar (DeKalb, IL) in Dec 2023
Interview
It was super chill and the hiring managers asked technical questions but in a way that was easy to relate them to your life experiences or school work. It helped me a little when I mentioned that a job in a formula team would be my dream job and I saw a big grin on the face of one of the hiring managers. Little did I know he was an F1 fanatic

Question 1
How do you know you have had a good day when you are ready to sleep at night
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kalmar (Chennai) in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process has four rounds.
First round is a technical coding round on codility.
Three problems statements were given and have to get above 60% to get on to the next round. The problems were mostly on Data Structures and Algorithms
The second round is a technical round, where I have been asked various questions on OOPS concept and also discussed on the problem statement from the coding round.
The third round is Client's round, and to be fair it is the easiest round. I was interviewed about how will I solve a problem, how will I estimate a timeline and how will I work as a team
Final round is HR round, which is surprisingly little difficult, I was asked many questions and the questions might repeat again, I should not give two different answers for the same questions.
The entire process took 2-3 weeks and finally I received my Offer Letter
