It was quick but bland. The interviewer didn't seem engaged or interested, giving the impression that it wouldn't be a pleasant place to work. He hinted that he just wanted to get out of his current task.

I got contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. We set up a call to talk about the job. Then I interviewed with the manager, and it was pretty basic. They didn't really say what they were looking for, felt like a waste of time.

Behavioral Presentation

I had a phone interview in May, and then a more formal interview in June. I spoke with 2 Managers and then the Director, which went for over 1.5 hours. They then gave me a tour of the office and said I should hear back in about 2 weeks. Some time went by, and after a couple of follow-up emails, I hadn't heard anything. Finally, at the end of July, I got a response saying the job had been filled internally. The whole thing took 10 weeks from start to finish. It's worth noting there was no HR recruiter to reach out to, and I couldn't get updates from the hiring manager. All in all, the interview process was pretty long, and communication was lacking.

I had two interviews for the Sales Manager role. The first was with my direct manager, and the second was with a peer on the team. Both conversations seemed to go well. They asked a lot about my past experience and the software I've worked with, and specifically about the accounts I've managed and how much I knew about each one.
