It was pretty straightforward and professional. There were a few steps in the whole interview process, which is pretty standard for AE roles. I didn't get much more info since I didn't get past the hiring manager though!

I went through a recruiter screen, then a hiring manager screen, followed by a virtual on-site that included a 3-person panel and a demo. Unfortunately, I didn't get the offer. They did say I could interview for another role, but I'd have to start the whole process over, even after spending more than 4 hours on interviews and prep for this one. All the interviewers were white males. The recruiter was nice though!

  • Be ready for standard sales inquiries.
  • Get ready for the demo.

I applied online, which was quick. Got an email confirming my application. Someone contacted me in a couple of days to set up an interview. I talked to someone from talent, then the hiring manager. We chatted for 30 mins about my background, and then I met with 4 other Brex folks for separate 30 min interviews. After that, I spoke with the CSO and got an offer the next day. The whole thing took about a week.
