I talked to the recruiter first, then I was supposed to have a phone interview with the hiring manager. But they never called or messaged me to reschedule. I reached out to the recruiter, and they let me pick a new time. I did the phone interview a few days later. They said I'd move to the final round and they'd contact me for a date. It's been a few weeks and I haven't heard anything about the final interview. It was a really disorganized process, and I think they're just trying to hit metrics. I wouldn't recommend applying here.

It was a short process. I had 2 interviews with senior sales leaders. They asked basic STAR questions and about my 30-60-90 day plan. I ended up accepting the position after 2 interviews. The process was great and they talked about the CRM, the territory, and the career path.

Applied online and got a call the next day for a screening. The recruiter was super nice, so we set up a 30-min phone screening for the next day. She called right on time, and we talked about my experience and qualifications. Afterwards, she mentioned a phone interview with the area sales manager and that I'd get an email about it, which I did. The next day, I spoke with the area sales manager for about 45 min. He then invited me for an onsite where I'd do a side-by-side, give a presentation, and meet with a panel of sales managers, the HR manager, and the sales director. It all went well, and he said I'd hear back soon. Less than 10 minutes later, I got a call with an offer!
