Kaspersky interview questions

I applied online in early September through Linkedin at night and the following day was promptly approached by a recruiter asking to share timeslots. I shared the timeslots and the response came only after 5 business days, the initial cv screening call was scheduled for 7 days after the first contact. (I should've expected what was coming after that...). 12 days after the initial call, I had to follow up because I had no update for the next steps, 21 business days after the call they replied to schedule the next round with the hiring manager 2 days later. The interview with the hiring manager was a little bit weird because instead of focusing on the actual knowledge and skillset of the candidate, they were focusing on what you had done and accomplished in your last/current role (you need to be emphatic on that because if someone is applying for jobs they surely have a personal reason for that, it's not nice to keep pushing about a bad thing instead of test the actual skill or how valuable this person could be to your team). This call was in mid-October and I've been completely ghosted by them ever since.

Was approached by talent acquisition, in response to a job post. Set up initial call, but the person never came back to me and when I asked it was told the position had been closed. When they reopen the position I was set up a call, interviewed normally, pretty standard questions, nothing challenging and I was definitely qualified for the job, but with a competitive salary. I was told they'd get back to me in a week... This was 2 months ago. Luckily I have a job, but imagine doing this to people that are with the pressure of unemployment? Be a bit more mindful is my advice. We are all humans and the moment you get on an interview with someone, you have a moral obligation to be there to relay information about the process. Kaspersky is probably under the scrutiny of being a Russian corporation, so this type of behavior doesn't bode in their favor. I still believe in Kaspersky, to be it is a legitimate company, but I'd have liked to be treated differently in this process. Don't take this as a criticism, just take it as something to improve. I still believe this company.
