after your phone screening, they have you waste your time with two members of HR before you can potentially interview with someone in their sales department. The whole vibe is about trying to disqualify people, they never sold me on the company and they lie about the job to get applicants, it's not a closing position, you are setting for your manager, it's an SDR position. They also put an entire sales team on a pip recently.

Confirmed questions1 question

Behavioral Presentation Other

You'll be waiting in the lobby with other candidates, then get introduced to the executives. After that, all candidates will be split up to interview with a VP one-on-one. Then you'll move on to another VP, and another, until you've interviewed with most, if not all, of the VPs. It's like speed dating, where you spend about 10 minutes with each VP.

Behavioral Technical

They do job fairs and might call you for an interview. You'll probably meet Jennifer, she's great and has been there a long time. The interview isn't too tough. They'll talk about how hard the job is but say it's worth it if you put in the effort. You might also meet with 2-3 managers.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Did you handle funding in your last role?
