First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Guesty.
Customer Success Manager
HR reached out on LinkedIn and we had a brief call. Then I spoke with the hiring managers who explained their CS approach (they have a dedicated CS team and a strong support team). They inquired about my experience with cross-selling and upselling. It felt like a casual conversation. The next step involved a meeting with the VP, where I introduced myself and we discussed our individual philosophies on Customer Success and NRR.
- Would you rather focus on onboarding new clients or nurturing existing customer relationships?
- Tell me about your experience with cross-selling and upselling.
- How do you personally approach Customer Success and NRR?
Customer Success Manager
The interview process is pretty standard with typical questions. What I thought was crazy is their assignment they give you. For basically an entry level position they are requiring you to do a 4-5 part assessment where you go through their software, do an SBR, as well as other things. I was interested in the role until I had to do this, the amount of energy and time I’d spend on the opportunity to get arguably minimum pay for a CSM role was not worth my time and not worth any other potential CSM. There are companies with simpler interviews and pay more for their entry level positions.
- Would you be willing to complete a 2-hour assessment for a potentially very small salary?
Customer Success Manager
The whole thing took about 3 weeks. First was a quick HR phone call, pretty basic stuff. Then I had a chat with my direct manager, about 40 mins, pretty chill but they asked a lot about my past jobs and duties, plus some behavioral stuff. Right after that, I got an assignment where I had to look at an account performance graph and suggest how Guesty products could help. It wasn't super hard but needed some prep. I heard back in 2-3 days. The toughest part was the one-on-one with the VP of CS, definitely needed to prep a lot for this. Most of the questions I got were from this meeting. About a week after that, HR told me they went with other people. I felt like I put in a lot of work, so I asked HR for more feedback, which was surprisingly helpful. She said the main issues were that I hadn't managed more than 15 accounts before and some of my answers weren't super clear.
- What steps would you take if a customer were to churn?
- Can you detail your current and past job responsibilities?
- What do you imagine a typical day for a Customer Success Manager at Guesty entails?
