Great hiring process -- very transparent, well-organised, and fair. The Kineo team invests a lot of time in the interviewing process and focuses on getting to know the applicants and the way they work. Stage 1: 30 min get-to know interview with 2 team members. Mainly about the company, the role, and your background. Loads of time for you to ask questions. They will also explain their transparent salary scheme. Stage 2: 2 h workshop with 2 team members. You will get the task a week prior to the workshop -- it is up to you if and how much you prepare for the task in advance. You work on the problem with one team member in a pair-programming session, the other will be there to observe. Stage 3: 1h Meet the Team. A lunch break to get to know the entire Kineo team. I accepted another offer in the end, but the entire experience was exclusively positive. I find their way to evaluate technical skills extremely fair and fun. In fact, Kineo.ai is the only Berlin-based AI Startup I applied to that does *not* use the hiring process to make applicants solve their problems or asks applicants to perform random (timed) coding tasks.

The interview process was super pleasant. From the first meeting I got a good impression of Kineo's values. What really got me interested was their transparency in their compensation across the whole organisation. The technical interview was interesting and it reflects very well the projects they do.
