The interview process and scheduling were sketchy and unreliable. The first round, HR joined a video call with their camera off, asked basic questions about my experience and education, explained the role, and then brought up visa sponsorship requirements. They refused to share the salary range, which is required by California law, and brushed it off saying it would be revealed later. The second round was on-site, and HR gave wrong timings (AM instead of PM) and no flexibility with scheduling. The interview with the senior sales management went great; they were professional and respectful. But again, HR avoided sharing salary and benefits details despite being asked multiple times. I declined the offer because of these shady hiring practices. Know your rights — California’s Pay Transparency Law (SB 1162) requires employers to disclose pay ranges.

I went in for an interview. The interviewer was late. It was a conversation, nothing too hard. The thing that struck me the most was odd was that they asked me what language I spoke in my household and what my parents did for a living. Pretty sure that is illegal. They called me back for a 2nd interview to speak to the VP. I declined as I had accepted another offer and this place seemed sketchy. I heard of a few recent grads who quit after a month or two after actually taking the job and am glad I did not.

The interview process took around 3 weeks total. It involved 3 separate on-site interviews. First, I spoke with the HR rep who contacted me. Then, I had an interview with the HR director. The last interview was with the VP of Sales. The HR folks were really helpful and kept in touch after each stage. You should understand the products they sell. You don't need an engineering background, but you should know who their customers are and how they get leads.
