The interview process started with an external HR agent who was not very effective. The in-person interview felt like they were trying to sell me on the role. They were unclear about the commission details. I got a strong sense of high employee turnover and that they treat employees like temporary staff. They said what they thought I wanted to hear, but it seemed insincere. I would not recommend this experience.

The interview was going great and everything felt smooth until the recruiter asked me about having a degree. I mentioned it wasn’t listed as a requirement in the job description, but they still said it’s something they need. Honestly, it didn’t feel great—especially since I’ve only been in the U.S. for a couple of years and I’ve already built solid experience in sales. It kinda seemed like they only move forward if you have a degree, even though it wasn’t made clear upfront.
