Standard HR screening followed by a difficult take home. The question itself wasn't that difficult, but you need to deploy your project on a canary environment where some tests are run and give you a very vague hint about what went wrong. It was hard to debug, especially when they provide so few examples for you to test against (and if your code passes those examples!). A lot was expected out of this assignment.

Interview
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing with Kairos Aerospace, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The communication throughout the interview process was outstanding. Right from the initial contact, the recruiter was transparent, responsive, and kept me well-informed about each step of the process. This level of clarity and engagement made me feel valued and appreciated as a candidate. The interview stages were thoughtfully designed to assess various aspects of my skills and experience. It began with a friendly HR interview, which helped me gain insights into the company culture. What followed was a unique deck work review, allowing me to showcase my abilities in a practical setting. The subsequent interviews, including a sales interview, a behavioral interview, and a challenging study case, provided a well-rounded evaluation. They were not just about assessing my qualifications but also about ensuring the right fit for both me and the company. The final interview with the CEO underscored Kairos Aerospace’s commitment to selecting the best talent. It was an enlightening conversation that showcased the company’s dedication to its mission. In summary, Kairos Aerospace’s interview process is a shining example of professionalism and candidate-centricity. I felt welcomed, respected, and supported throughout, and I eagerly anticipate the possibility of joining this outstanding team. If you’re considering a career with Kairos Aerospace, I can wholeheartedly say that the interview experience reflects the company’s commitment to excellence.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Insight M (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
One of the best selection processes I've had. After the initial meeting with Recruiting Manager I have received a clear path on how the process will continue (Who I was going to interview with & expected duration of each interview). After the initial meeting I received an assesment to complete (5 questions about yourself, achievements, opportunities to improve, how do you see your self in 5 years from now). Everyone I interview with has showed genuine interest in knowing me (both, my personality and my profesional background). They were also interested about my thoughts about diversirty and inclussion. For the mock sales exercise I was given a "Situation" and needed to figure it out the data (from my team as well as for customer team) and build a commercial proposal. (all "online" with the interviewer on the other side). More or less this has been the process: 1) Aplying questionare 2) First Interview with Recruitment Manager 3) Assesment to complete and send 4) Seccond Interview with Director of People 5) Mock Sales Interview (Case Study / Sales) 6) Interview with Chief Product Officer 7) CEO Interview
