After a phone screen by HR, and a follow up 30min talk with the hiring manager I was asked to come in. The group/panel interview process took up half of a day, as I met with a series of of employees I would be interacting with on a daily basis; peers, direct reports, as well as those I would be reporting too. All together I had a very positive experience meeting with these potential coworkers and answering their insightful questions. I found the discussion with the hiring manager very engaging and I was sincerely excited about the role, and how my skill set could assist the company with their goals.
On the flip side I was quite disappointing in the professionalism in their HR department. They are either stretched too thin and/or lacking in professional courtesy, as they elected to never follow up after the interview.
KAGR views themselves as a startup spin off of the Kraft Group. The office space has that feel, but their HR department is miles and miles behind any HR department that I have worked with in my 15 year career.
There has been additional feedback regarding the hiring process for the Kraft Group. KAGR and the Kraft Group share the same HR department. Do yourself a favor, review feedback there there and contemplate if you really want to use a PTO day to interview with them. You might have a stellar interview; yet hear nothing.
