      Backend Developer Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KoboToolbox (New York, NY) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      I was supposed to have a video interview online with one of their staff. They canceled the first attempt less than one hour before the meeting was supposed to start and asked me to re-schedule it for the following week, which I did. On the second attempt, I waited for about 5 minutes in the virtual conference room and nobody showed up, so I sent an email saying that I was ready for the interview and the interviewer replied back excusing herself out of the meeting and asking me to wait for someone else, who was going to interview me for the role instead. I waited for about 20 minutes and the other person didn't show up. The original interviewer finally showed up saying that she was "very sorry", but laughing the whole situation off... She said that they were going to re-schedule and let me know. I politely said that it was alright and said goodbye. I'm betting that I'll never hear from them again. They gave me the impression that they don't care about anything. Their lack of consideration for other people's feelings is intriguing, given that their job is related to humanitarian aid... The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (the foundation that finances KoboToolbox) should invest their resources more wisely staff-wise. I can't figure out how a person like that ends up with such responsibility. I reckon she might have a rich daddy who might have donated a lot of money to Harvard. I can't come up with any other reasonable explanation. I'm trying to find a job in the non-profit sector because I figured that I would find nicer people and work for a good cause. These people don't seem to take their work very seriously and are far from being nice though... By the way, I wanted to post this review the very same day we had our last unsuccessful interview attempt. The only reason I couldn't do it at the time is that Glassdoor is a terrible platform and their staff is hands down incompetent. They don't understand their own community guidelines and perhaps not even the English language.
