In my experience, Kasa’s interview process placed a heavy emphasis on unpaid project work with limited evidence of genuine hiring intent. I was asked to complete large, time-consuming assessments using what appeared to be real anonymized data, designing and troubleshooting end-to-end workflows and automations that closely mirrored live business problems. Throughout the process, communication about next steps and decision timelines was vague, which made the work feel more like unpaid consulting packaged as an “assessment” than a structured evaluation for a real role. The live interviews did not balance this workload. The conversations stayed high-level, the questions were fairly basic, and several interviewers, including the Data Lead, did not engage deeply with the technical details of the solution. That gap between the scope of the take-home work and the superficial nature of the interviews made me question how the company values candidates’ time and expertise.
