I was disappointed by Kroll's HR.
They reached out to me for a test, so I emailed them my availability, and we scheduled a time. I waited for my test on the promised date and time, but they never emailed me the test. I sent emails to check: no response. A few days later, an HR person reached me for setting a different testing time. I responded with my availability but didn't get responses from Kroll's side. A month later, HR emailed me "apologizing" not noticing my email and asking if I still want to be in the process.
I never had such a bizarre experience like this with HR. It's totally fine if they don't find me as a good candidate. I was deeply frustrated by the poor communication and disrespectful etiquette.
HR represents the face of the company since it leaves the first impression on people. In that sense, Kroll brutally failed.

Interview
Phone interview with HR first. Then was followed by an informal virtual interview with the hiring manager. He spent the first 10 mins talking about his own background. Then rushing me at the end when I was showing my portfolio. He also cut short the interview because he has another meeting to go to. Very unprofessional! The purpose of the job interview is for you to interview them just as much as they are you. Major red flags!
