First I had a phone screening. Then I was offered a take home challenge. Do not make it overcomplicated. Just make it a ruby script. I did not make it the take home because I made a ruby on rails app that satisfied the user stories
Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Kin Insurance en dic 2024
Entrevista
I went through several rounds with Kin, including a take-home coding project, behavior interview, and a coding interview focused on my project submission.
I was impressed by the clear interview briefs I received to prepare for each round, and the detailed feedback I received from the hiring manager at the end.

Entrevista
Talked with a recruiter who was kind as an intro call
Completed a code challenge
There is a coding / pairing day with other developers after that.
Followed by a behavioral interview.
Then an interview with their director of engineering.
They reviewed my code challenge and then didn’t proceed with my candidacy. I’m a little bit peeved I didn’t get to even talk to anyone about my code submission, that would have been nice at least. I’m confident in my abilities and think what I wrote was well written, but I guess just not what they were looking for. But, anyway, just be weary that they take the code review seriously enough that they might reject you without speaking to you about the code.
