Had to be referred internally, also applied online. I had read the reviews online and they seemed inflated by the executive team and overall negative from current employees, both of which were red flags for me. I completed the first round interview with the hiring manager and continued to dislike the process and overall abrasiveness of the interview itself. I had decided after the phone screen (due to the interview itself and the company research) that it would not be a fit for me. One of the questions was in regards to salary expectations, to which he asked "how much do you currently make?" instead of "what are your salary expectations?". I instead answered with the research I had done into this role and the expectations I had to which he answered "that's not what I asked." This goes along with what I've read about them being "cheap" and not fairly compensating their employees. This is a huge red flag and any experienced recruiter would advise in asking the latter. Another question he asked was in regards to "how I would define user experience" to which I answered a comprehensive and well put answer about what it is (I currently work with clients in UX). The interviewer made me feel uncomfortable with my answer and did not appropriately probe, instead just made me feel stupid. Alongside this, the interviewer was 10 minutes late to a 20 minute interview, and told me I could expect to hear back on the Friday of the week and took until the Wednesday of the following week. The lack of professionalism would turn away any seasoned candidate. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere, this company is riddled with red flags and there are better companies in Toronto to work for that invest and care about the candidates they interview.

The Konrad interview process was very extensive, I completed the below - 30 minute recruiter conversation - 1 hour Vice President Interview - 3 Hour Design thinking challenge (Part 1) - 1 Hour Design thinking presentation (Part 2) - 1 hour In person interview VP The interview process moved quite quickly, you don’t get feedback after each interview and instead are just told if you have progressed to the next stage. They ask a multitude of random questions, your typical McKinsey / Bain questions like estimating the number of coffee cups in Toronto. I found the people I spoke to quite welcoming and was switched between the lead and another recruiter throughout the process I was told throughout the process I was liked by everyone and had to pay for flights and accommodation to come down for an interview in person. The interview was the same as my first stage interview with some of the same questions being asked, I was told prior to this interview they wanted to offer but couldn’t do it till they met me in person. A week after my interview, and being told I had passed all the capability tests including a 3 hour design thinking challenge with no negative feedback points provided the team emailed to say they had gone with someone else without providing any reason as to why. I sent a note back asking for feedback to which I received no constructive feedback of why I didn’t get the job. I recommend reading Glassdoor reviews about the firm before pursuing with them, it seems they have a flat structure with little regard to wellbeing or the time and commitment which goes into an interview process with misleading messaging throughout and no willingness to provide feedback to candidates This was a very displeasing interview process, and I was shocked by how little regard was taken after they decline you at the final stage
