Got a ping from a recruiter about this gig. Had two chats with them, one to kick things off and another for interview prep. Then, I hopped on a 30-min phone call with the hiring manager. Honestly, I was pretty stoked to connect with her, but she just seemed kinda uninterested, like she was just reading off a list of questions without really paying attention to my answers. Also, there seemed to be some mix-up about the OTE, with the recruiter and the hiring manager giving different figures. She hit me with the salary expectations question super early, even though I'd already told the recruiter. By the end of our call, she mentioned she'd circle back with their internal recruiter about the next steps in a few days. I shot over a follow-up email right away and never heard back. It felt pretty disorganized, like a new team.

The interview process, starting from the recruiter's initial call to the Zoom meeting with the AE manager, was remarkably swift. All interactions were authentic, prompt, and considerate of my time.

A recruiter contacted me to schedule a meeting with the sales manager. The call with the sales manager was great, it felt more like a conversation than an interview. Afterwards, the sales manager said I would speak with the recruiter to check compensation alignment, and then I'd proceed to the final interview. Following my conversation with the recruiter, I got a standard email saying I wouldn't be moving forward. I contacted the recruiter again to clarify, and she informed me that they had reversed their decision and decided to proceed with other candidates.
