Candidate-reported interview process

I applied online and a recruiter got back to me within two weeks. The interview process itself lasted about 3-4 weeks, and I met virtually with 7 different people from the sales team. It was good to see the company really cared about potential hires and wanted the sales org's opinion on who to bring on!

The interview process spanned a few weeks and was quite thorough, involving multiple stages and projects. The coordinator was very organized and communicated effectively. The final stage consisted of six 30-minute interviews.

The interview process was straightforward and challenging, as expected for this kind of role. The team is really smart. My recruiter was helpful and responsive. Overall, it was a positive experience, even though they temporarily paused hiring during my process.
