The process was thorough but fun and engaging. It was a two-way conversation where they went above and beyond. Leadership is very engaged and has a clear vision for growth. Tom from Sales Enablement was very transparent and generous with his time.

Behavioral Presentation
Talked to an outside recruiter, pretty standard questions, then a 20-minute chat with the hiring manager. They flew me out to HQ for a final interview. Upon arrival, I waited over 20 minutes, then gave a quick 10-minute presentation to the EVP and CEO, who joined halfway through. It felt rushed, and I didn't get to ask many questions. They walked me out an hour after I arrived and mentioned uncertainty about the role being remote, which felt like a waste of my time.

This all happened after they canceled calls on the day of.
