The interview process was pretty fast, unlike many other companies. I had 3 phone interviews, two with the VP of Sales and one with the CEO. By the end of the third interview, I had a clear understanding of the expected activities and performance metrics if I were to get the job offer. I discussed my previous sales and customer account management experience.

I had two rounds of interviews: a 30-minute technical phone screen that covered resume questions, technical questions, and availability, followed by a 3-hour onsite interview with 3 interviewers. The onsite included whiteboard coding. I also had a brief tour of the company. It seemed to go well, but they only had one position open.

Behavioral

I sent my resume and cover letter, and the hiring manager responded that he wasn't going to hire me for a salary, despite my software sales experience, because I hadn't worked as a freight broker before. He then offered a commission-only role at 10% MRR, with the possibility of discussing a salary later if I proved myself.

Behavioral Technical

I had three phone/conference call interviews with each of the Managers. They asked me a bunch of questions about my experience, my college, and why I was looking to leave my current job. The interviews were pretty relaxed, and they mainly wanted to understand my drive and what I could contribute to the company.
