I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kendo (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2026
Interview
Accepted offer after final round, very professional team. After the initial phone screening I was introduced to hiring manager, then the final round was hiring manager and two other associates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Prior internship experience and how it fits with the role
I applied online. I interviewed at Kendo in Apr 2026
Interview
Includes 3 rounds of interviews. 1st is a recruiter screening, 2nd is with the hiring manager, and the 3rd round includes an in-person onsite with the hiring manager and 3 cross-functional partners. I was ghosted after the 3rd and final on-site round. This is extremely unprofessional, especially after I had gone through multiple rounds and had taken the time to meet the team in the office.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kendo in Jan 2025
Interview
After 3–4 interview rounds plus a project, the process ended with a surprisingly rude and dismissive email from HR regarding work I had completed based on the team’s own direction and feedback. The tone of the message honestly said more about the company culture than anything else.
The interview experience itself was also disappointing. Several interviewers seemed uninterested throughout the process, and during the final presentation, one person got up and walked away mid-presentation, which was incredibly disrespectful considering the amount of time and effort candidates are expected to invest. There also seemed to be a general lack of professionalism and coordination overall. The interview panel itself arrived late and appeared more focused on getting through the process than genuinely engaging with candidates.
Overall, the experience felt impersonal, disorganized, and far below what I expected from a company owned by LVMH...
