I was contacted by an external person for the role. I had a first interview with the management team which went well. Then, I got an interview with the leadership team. After that, I didn't hear back from any of them. They just ghosted me. I even contacted this external person who didn't even bother to reply to me. Stay away from this company at all costs. Look at all the reviews and it will give you some insight into what to expect.

If you've done SaaS AE interviews before, this will be familiar, but basically: 1. First, a 1:1 chat with a Sales Manager to check soft skills and EQ, which is key. 2. Then, a panel interview with several Sales Managers where they looked objectively at my past performance/metrics, asked about my strengths/weaknesses, sales approach, and career goals. 3. Finally, a 1:1 with the Sales Director to go over what I discussed with the managers. We chatted comfortably about our backgrounds, both personal and professional. He then talked about the company's direction, asked about my salary expectations, and I got a verbal offer. The whole experience was great; everyone was professional and honest, making me feel good about the team I'd be joining. Which I did.

I was contacted by a recruiter. Then had some brief calls with sales leaders where we discussed my experience at a high level. The calls felt very rushed. Honestly, I'd recommend saving your time based on what I've read. It seems like a place with high turnover and low quota attainment, though the product does appear to have market fit.
