The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KAYAK (Berlín) in Jul 2025
Interview
The process started smoothly, with a positive interview and encouraging feedback from the hiring manager. But from there, it completely unraveled.
- I received an email that still had placeholder text ({{CANDIDATE_FIRST_NAME}}), showing no attention to detail.
- The process was suddenly put “on hold” for weeks with no clarity.
- Every update was vague and inconsistent, and the only reason I got any information at all was because I kept pushing back; otherwise, I would have been left in the dark (or ghosted entirely).
- After weeks of this, I was sent a generic rejection email — only to see the same role reposted soon after.
Candidates invest significant time and energy. Being met with careless communication, no feedback, and shifting excuses shows a lack of respect and professionalism. If this is how they handle hiring, I can only imagine the level of disorganization internally.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KAYAK in Dec 2019
Interview
Video call. Was presenting my past work and process. Really bad attitude. They don't care about your presentation at all. And they don't ask follow up questions about your work or very limited attention.;
