Interview
Submitted my resume online, got an email for an screening interview request by phone, followed by interview with VP and then a take home case.
Overall phone interview was fine. The interview with the VP was a bit aggressive. It seemed designed to test your knowledge gaps, but I went in being pretty honest with what my capabilities were, yet they asked outside of it. Normally this would feel fine but it felt like they were specifically asking me questions they knew I wouldn’t know in an effort to ‘expose me’, instead of proving that I could learn new concepts (which I have).
The take home was a pretty standard design thinking take home type problem. Google anything with a business case and IDEO, most likely a cross from that.
Overall neutral - I think they tested too much on current knowledge instead of your ability to learn knew things. Also a warning was that I did not interact with a single women in leadership the entire interview process.
Decent, online application and then in person interview at their Toronto office for 1 hour. The next round is a case study also in person at their office. The people were nice and kept us in communication.

Interview
Virtual HR screening happened the day after I applied. Typical questionslike tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here. She asked me to tell about what drew me to the role and where my interests in digital consulting came from.

Interview
One of the most appalling interview processes I have ever participated in!
I was originally very excited to work for Konrad. However, the lack of respect and unprofessionalism was shocking. I saw a few other negative Glassdoor reviews that made me uneasy, but I ignored them because I thought the company had changed over the last five years. I was wrong.
The interview process consists of 3 components:
- Short chat with HR (oddly the HR director asked for my age in a roundabout way)
- More comprehensive interview with a Senior Manager
- A 3 hr virtual business case and a 25-minute presentation to an AVP in the office.
I enjoyed meeting the team and I felt confident. The team quickly moved me along the process, however, things went off the rails following my presentation.
The day after the presentation, a senior member of the team emailed me to speak over the phone. We had a great chat where they indicated that the team was very impressed and would like to move forward with the next steps. The conversation was positive and I was told I would receive the offer letter the following day to review.
The following morning I received a pre-templated rejection email from the senior team member - one that did not even allude to the conversation we had 2.5
business hours earlier - expressing that they are now going forward with another candidate.
I immediately called them back and asked if this was a mistake since they had offered me the job the day prior. They dismissed me and said that they changed their mind. There was no legitimate reason provided.
I would highly recommend that you consider evaluating your options before working here. There is something unsettling below the surface of this company.
