Then, there were several interviews: one with the hiring manager (leader #1), two with directors (leaders #2 and #3), one with a VP (leader #4), and two more with different hiring managers (leaders #5 and #6). Finally, there was a presentation interview with the entire team.

Behavioral Presentation
So the process is a 3-pronged approach. It starts with an initial screen, then you'll have 1:1 interviews with 3-4 people, where 2 will be peers and 2 will be managers. After that, there's a presentation stage. The recruiter handles the whole process, setting up all the calls and managing all the responses.

Behavioral Presentation
I had 3 in-person interviews with different sales leaders from various sales departments, plus a presentation and a role play. I was an internal candidate at the Cambridge location. The interview process was pretty straightforward with standard questions. The role play involved a business alignment presentation where I was given a scenario and had to creatively align Forrester's expertise.
