Account Executive
The interview process was great. The team was welcoming and very transparent. There were a few rounds of interviews: meeting with the hiring manager, a second manager of the larger team, a teammate, and then a tech challenge (role play) with the hiring manager, VP of Sales, and Sr. Director of the SE team. The Sr. Recruiter helped me prepare for each step, including the types of questions, background on interviewers, and checked in to ensure I was feeling good about the opportunity. The process moved quickly and made me feel valued. I started on the 12th and accepted my offer on the 28th. Overall, it was a very positive experience.
