The interview process was pretty standard for this kind of role. It had about five steps in total, and one of the main parts was a panel presentation. I also got to chat with someone on the team who told me about what they do day-to-day and any challenges, and they answered my questions.

Behavioral Technical

Recruiting coordinator reached out on LI about a remote WFH opportunity. The process was standard: first call with RC, then a second call with HM. We spoke about sales experience, what motivates you, etc. I was asked to do an assessment test and RC said they'd let me know if I moved to the second round. It's been 3 weeks and despite 2 email inquiries, nobody has gotten back. The candidate experience is extremely poor due to lack of communication and follow-up. The bay area is super competitive, and if they treat candidates like this, I can't imagine what it's like to be an FTE. Thanks but no thanks.

Behavioral Other

The interview process was pretty typical. I had discussions with several team members, which were generally pleasant, although one person was notably rude and arrogant. I think they were just an outlier, though.
