Candidate-reported interview process

It went well. They told me I was going to be moved on to the next round, but I haven't heard back. The interview seemed like it was great so not sure where it went wrong.

I talked to a few managers and then got the offer pretty quickly. Since I was already working here, it was a pretty easy move, and I'm liking it so far.

The interview process incorporated Amazon-style behavioral questions, alongside inquiries aimed at assessing cultural fit with Avalara. It included discussions on prospecting methodologies and strategic approaches for securing and finalizing deals.
