AlienVault Account Executive interviews, decoded.

The interview process was super encouraging. I spoke with 3 members of the senior management team who asked really good intuitive and professional questions. They were also quick to respond and had a recruiter who made me feel very welcome throughout the experience.

It started with a phone screening, then I met with all the managers. It felt pretty informal and conversational, like they were trying to get a sense of who I am. Even though I didn't get the job, they were really respectful of my time and super friendly. You get the vibe they're after more than just another worker. I respect their process, and I'm bummed I didn't make the cut, but I feel like I would've really enjoyed working there.

I applied online for the AE position. I heard back pretty quickly to set up a phone screen. It was pretty basic, just talking about my background. They told me I'd hear back by Friday about next steps. It was a Wednesday. Friday came and went, and I didn't hear anything. The next Friday, still nothing, so I emailed them asking about next steps. The Friday after that, still nothing. I had to get a friend who works there to find out what was going on. They had him tell me I wasn't being considered.
