The interview process for this HR software company felt like they forgot the "human" part. The final interview with the director was a total waste of time. The interviewer was hostile from the start. Despite my tenured career, he tried to tear my career apart, calling it unsuccessful because my job history showed 6 years at one company and 4 years at another, unlike his 14 years with the same company. Just don't waste your time!

Behavioral Technical Presentation
After submitting my resume and cover letter with my desired salary, they contacted me the next day to send an automated video interview. They got back to me within one business day to set up a recruiter call. The recruiter was very direct and honest about my qualifications and any potential issues. I appreciated him being upfront about disqualifiers so I could address them. Then, they scheduled an interview with two sales managers for 2-3 days later. It was a very open discussion, not a trick interview. They wanted to gauge my sales experience and then we did a roleplay. I could choose to roleplay in my current role or setting an appointment with a BambooHR lead. I picked the latter and it was the right move. They highly value curiosity and discovery, so I asked many questions during the roleplay, which worked out well. I had done my research, so I could discuss specific aspects of their service, which seemed to impress them. They offered me the job the following day.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I submitted my application online, which was pretty simple as I just had to link my LinkedIn. A few days after, I got a call for a phone interview that lasted about 15 minutes. The next week, I came in for a face-to-face interview. First, I met with a manager and a top salesperson. They asked general interview questions and we did a short role-play for setting up a call. After that, I talked with the CEO, Ben. He asked more about my interest in the company compared to others and what value I could add. He also checked my knowledge of their product, so definitely check out their website and videos beforehand. I got the offer the day after and started the next Monday. I saw some negative reviews before applying but my experience was positive, fair, and professional.
