I attended an interview at Kiebot, and the process began with basic questions on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I answered them correctly, and the interview felt simple, covering topics like basic tags, naming conventions, and React hooks. Afterward, the interviewer informed me that HR would contact me.
The HR round was conducted via Google Meet, where the company rules and salary details were discussed. To my surprise, the salary offered was quite low compared to industry standards. What shocked me more was that Kiebot is affiliated with Upcode Software Labs, a training institute that heavily advertises high-paying IT jobs.
To clarify, I inquired with a few Kiebot employees, and they confirmed that the salary offered was indeed low. They mentioned they were working for the experience rather than the pay. While gaining experience is important, I believe companies should provide competitive salaries, especially when their affiliated institute promotes high earning potential in the IT field.
Ultimately, I declined the offer because the salary didn’t meet my expectations.
**Pros:**
- Simple and straightforward interview process.
Cons:
- Salary offered is lower than industry standards.
- Misalignment between expectations set by their affiliated institute (Upcode Software Labs) and the actual salary offered.
