Doctible Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty unorganized. First, there was a virtual meeting with a business consultant where they explained the different roles and teams. Then, I had an in-person interview with the Director of Sales. They asked general questions and left time for my questions, but I was advised not to ask about specifics like OTE, benefits, or strategy because they wouldn't answer. After that, I had to send a recap email which they didn't respond to. They mentioned there might be 6-7 more interviews, but it wasn't definite. I followed up via email after not hearing anything for a few days, and that also went unanswered. I saw on Indeed that I was 'Not Selected'. I called the consultant, and after leaving a message, I finally got a brief response saying I wasn't moving forward. Honestly, it felt like a good thing because of the red flags like undisclosed pay and unanswered questions. My feedback is to make the process more formal, communicate with candidates, and be transparent about pay.

They had me fill out an application and read about the awards process while 3 of us waited. I was interviewed first, asked two basic questions, and the interviewer was honest and said the more in-depth interview is at another time. They then interviewed the other 2 people, both taking 5 minutes. Finally, we were brought into a conference room to learn about the company. The company seems decent, but for someone with a keen eye for math, I had a couple of questions and notices for prospective interviewers. 1) Pay is around $11.50 + 4 hours overtime + commission. They don't explicitly state this, but the math adds up to exactly what they showed us in the interview. Commission is $20 per sale for 0-9 sales a month, and $50 per sale for 10+ sales. You should make a sale about every other day once you're good at it, and I believe that's how they advertise their monthly commission. Keep in mind you are working 4 hours overtime, so it's kind of a false claim as that's about $276 of the monthly income they advertise. Second, and most concerning, is that they said they have about 300,000 prospective customers. I was told they make about 120 calls per day, and based on what I saw, they have about 40 employees. 40 employees * 120 calls per day = 4800 calls per day. 300,000 prospective customers / 4800 calls per day = every single potential customer being called in 62.5 days. I'm mainly writing this review as I'm curious about the above and hoping to get a response. Either way, I feel it will be educational for prospective employees.

The whole process felt super unprofessional. I'm wondering if they already had someone in mind, maybe an internal hire or someone on an H-1B visa. It ended up being a three-hour time sink with no follow-up on how I performed. It really makes you think if the supposed software developer shortage is even real anymore.

I met the co-founders at a startup internship at UC San Diego, which was like the first interview, and it was a fun but tough process. Then, I went into the office for the second interview. The CEO was pretty conversational and just wanted to see what I knew about the company and the industry, and if I could hack it working in a startup. The COO went over my resume and asked about the case study I did beforehand.
