The interview process itself seemed fine but there was a lack of response after the second interview, even with emails sent. This has become typical practice of many companies but I was surprised by this after having what I thought were two good interviews with the same person.

I made it through 3 out of the 4 interviews for this role. The first step was a recruiter screener where they told me about the job and the company and asked me some questions. After that, I had an interview with a CSM, and then a role play exercise with CSMs from both teams.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was pretty standard, with each step taking about a week. You'll do a performance task to show off your skills. It starts with a recruiter chat, then you meet the hiring manager, finish the performance task, and then have a final meeting with the VP of Customer Success.
