Kearney

Anonymous Interview Candidate in New Delhi

No Offer
Negative Experience
Difficult Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Kearney (New Delhi) in Aug 2023

Interview

First of all, their interview process is quite broken. I have received multiple calls from the recruiter discussing the role and the opportunity. While everything is going smooth and my interview was scheduled on a specific date and time however just an hour before the interview they cancelled stating that my profile was not stronger for the role. By all means, who has asked to schedule on the first note. This happened with a couple of friends of mine aswell. Hope they get their communication channels right for better future as other wise we have seen in the history what had happened to organizations who do not respect people.

Earlier this year, we celebrated #BlackHistoryMonth with the theme of “Empowerment: uplifting Black excellence to develop and flourish.” We kicked off February with The Culture Digest, a weekly cultural column, and a Black culture trivia night. We also had the pleasure of attending a speaker series with distinguished guests such as Judith Batty, a BHM Book Club discussing The Light We Carry, a celebration of music, and office museum visits. Thank you to everyone in our Black@Kearney network and all our attendees for a joyous month!
