Red Points Interview Questions
& Process

I applied via SmartRecruiters, submitting my CV and a cover letter. The interview process was straightforward and quick, involving questions about my academic background and English proficiency. I received a response within a few hours.

The HR call was really nice, she explained the offer and company details directly. Then came a technical test, which was pretty junior-friendly but still challenging and relevant to the job. After that, I interviewed with the hiring managers who discussed my test results and explained the daily tasks, company culture, and values. Finally, HR called back with the results, salary, conditions, and benefits. It was a great experience getting a real look into the company and team.

I applied online and got a call for an interview a week later. The first interview was 30 minutes with HR. The recruiter was late and didn't apologize or introduce themselves before asking what I knew about the company. When I asked about the WFH policy, they ranted about employees working from the beach and criticized them. They also said there was no salary negotiation and emphasized a fast-paced, demanding environment requiring long hours. This, plus the criticism of colleagues, suggested a lack of trust and high stress. After that, I had two more interviews with team members. They asked general questions about my experience, background, and aspirations. Regarding team organization and workload management, they said there was none and it was a first-come, first-serve system. I get that growing companies can be disorganized, but the lack of organization, trust, and the demanding hours were concerning. I was told I was a finalist and would hear back in a week. After three weeks and no response to my emails, I assume they chose someone else. It's basic decency to send a rejection email, especially to final candidates. I was initially interested in the company and product, and liked the team members, but HR's attitude and candidate handling were poor. I tried to ignore the red flags, thinking it was due to company growth, but it seems inherent to the organization.

A recruiter reached out since they saw me on LinkedIn and were looking for Sales Development Representatives in NYC for Red Points. The same day, I had a phone screening with the US Director of Sales. They talked more about the company and role, then asked if I could do a 2-hour online assessment that evening, which I said yes to. The Director also set up an on-site interview for the next day at their NYC office (WeWork) – it was part sales interview, part casual chat. A few days later, I had a Google Hangout with their HR Manager in Barcelona, and a few weeks after that, I had another Google Hangout with the VP of Sales, also in Barcelona. The Director stayed in touch weekly, the HR Manager was super responsive and helpful, and the VP made sure I understood the company and role well. Even though I didn't get an offer for complicated reasons, interviewing with Red Points was nice.
