Avalara Sales Development Representative interviews, decoded.

First, you'll have a virtual chat with the recruiter. They'll ask stuff like, "walk me through your resume, why do you think you would be best suited for this role". After that, you gotta do a behavioral and cognitive test before they set up the interview with the hiring manager.

Hiring process was a bit slow, took 2 months from the initial HR screening call to receiving an offer. There were two rounds of interviews with leadership based in India and the USA. They were really good regarding onboarding and orientation.

They had a panel interview that included a quick deck presentation where I was asked to answer "Why me" and "Why Avalara" along with a cold calling exercise. It was a smooth process with apt decision making, and the interviewers were matured professionals.
