I applied online. I interviewed at Aikido Security in Mar 2026
Interview
1st screening call went well. They told me that they wanted to be speedy in the process because they needed to fill in the post ASAP, so I'd hear from them just in a week.
Of course I didn't. I followed up with the HR person and they just ignored me. Fast forward 3 weeks after that and I send them my usual weekly follow up, only for the HR person to send me a very typical automated email (after careful consideration blabla...) with an addition that went along the lines of 'actually when we interviewed you we already knew who we'd hire'.
So disrespectful and a waste of the candidate's time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just the usual first HR call. Introduction and review of experiences in the CV.
Don't bother wasting your time with this company. Clearly, aikido security doesn't value candidates' time or care about providing any type of feedback. After more than a week, a committed response by the recruiter within a couple of days, I never heard back from them. A recruiter who just started in the week of my interview doesn't justify this type of disrespectful behaviour. What does it say about a company that doesn't even bother to respond to a follow-up email? aikido is clearly a company to avoid. Sure, it's common practise these days for recruiters to treat candidates poorly - despite claiming to value and respect one another - yet a candidate's reality these days is different. Companies, be it aikido or anyone else, especially in the SaaS, Cyber Security, and generally in the Tech space, couldn't care less about providing a minimum level of decency towards applicants as they obviously have an abundance to choose from, hence being respectful is not on the chart.
