Account Executive
Coordinate and pitch various teams on a software solution you are comfortable with. Field questions. Negotiate with management and HR. Pretty standard process most should be familiar with. Nothing was out of the norm.
- Describe how you manage a sales cycle.
- How do you navigate challenging scenarios?
- What's your approach to competitive deals?
Account Executive
It was a well organized interview process. The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and set up three phone calls with the VP of Sales, Worldwide VP of Sales, and the Pre Sales and Professional Services leader. I was given some info on what to expect in each interview to help me prepare. After the phone interviews, I went to San Francisco for an onsite interview. My day started with a presentation to about 10 people from the MemSQL team and then I had back to back interviews until 5pm. The questions were not very technical, and I think if you have sales experience, you'll be able to answer them. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. I got the offer the next day.
- Can you describe your usual sales cycle?
- What's your understanding of MemSQL?
Account Executive
The interview process was really well put together, and everyone I talked to was ready. The HR person I dealt with was great and gave me feedback quickly throughout, and also proactively shared info about the company and benefits.
- Were you asked about your knowledge of common database terms and the database ecosystem?
- For example, how do other products complement MemSQL's solution, and what are some example use cases?
