Behavioral Technical Presentation
This was maybe the worst interview experience I've had. I saw the Sales Engineer job on Glassdoor, applied because I met the qualifications and the salary seemed okay. First, I had a phone screen where we talked about the job basics and my salary expectations. Then, I was invited for an in-person interview at their office with a Sales Manager. After that, I got invited back for a more technical interview where I met the Director of Engineering and the CEO. The CEO liked me but was concerned I might leave for Google. She asked me to come back in a few weeks with a presentation on how I'd sell their product. I put a lot of effort into the presentation, and it seemed to go well. The CEO noticed my hard work and said they'd let me know. I never heard back, even after following up a few times. About a month or two later, they reposted the job with a salary about 35% lower. It was really disappointing; I suspect they didn't actually have the budget for the original salary, which was already a bit below market. If they had just responded, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to write this. Avoid them!

Behavioral Technical
I was contacted directly by the CEO and we had a Phone Call to discuss my background. They asked good questions, nothing tough. This was followed by an in-person interview, which had a very casual atmosphere. The office is loud and unorganized. At first, it seemed like a great place to work, but once I got there, I noticed some shortcomings.

- Do you prefer working independently?
- Are you familiar with SF.com?
- Explain how you would plan your day considering prioritization is very important.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I had an initial chat with the CTO, then a Python test problem to solve within 4 days. After that, I had a followup interview with the CTO and a dev team member to go over the Python test. The next step was an interview with the CEO, and then the offer letter came soon after.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The CEO seemed to be using our interview as a free consulting session about her competitors' sales strategies. She repeatedly avoided my questions or invitations to discuss her company and barely touched upon the role I was applying for. It felt shady and extremely unprofessional.

- Me: “Would love to hear about the successes you’ve had as a company.” Interviewer: “What do you use as a hook for your outreach?”
