Behavioral Presentation

It started with a phone call, then I went to their office for an in-person interview. After that, I had another interview with some managers. They also had me do a mock sales presentation. It was a lot, but they seemed really eager to hire, which made sense when I found out there's a lot of turnover.

The interview process was really smooth and I learned a lot. I really liked hearing about how well the company has been doing and their plans for the future. But, the whole transparency and waiting part was handled really unprofessionally. I reached out to my contact person and the recruiting team multiple times to check in, but I didn't get any response at all (whether by phone or email). It's super tough for candidates to look for other jobs when they're stuck waiting for a reply from their recruiter. I know they're considering other people too, but getting no response at all was pretty disappointing based on my experience interviewing with big companies.

The interview process was good and smooth. Very organized and professional. It took about a week for the interview to be set up. I met with two people separately on the same day. Training was about 2 weeks.
