The process included a sourcer screen, then a recruiter screen, followed by interviews with the hiring manager, a team member, and someone from an adjacent team. It was all behavioral interviews and took about 2 months. The recruiter was really bad at communicating, they ghosted me, then came back months later, and then ghosted again.

The whole thing took about 6-8 weeks and involved 5 stages. If you don't have sales experience, don't bother applying. They're really just looking for people to sell their product to boost their IPO. It's a big waste of time and effort to get all the way to the end, only to be rejected because they needed someone with prior sales experience. They could have just told me that upfront and saved me the trouble if they were in a rush to hire.

There were 3 interview rounds. The first was with the sales manager, then two rounds with account executives, and the final with the Director of Sales. It was spread out over a couple of office visits. Each interview was about 30 minutes, depending on how the conversation went. Make sure to read up on their customer stories, white papers, and general company news.
