Software AG Sales Manager Interview Questions
& Process

The interview was in person at their office and lasted about an hour with 6-7 questions. The HR lady was pleasant and let me consider each question before answering. She made me feel at ease and overall it was a good interview.

I went through about 8 interviews for this role. The process started with an HR contact who I had an initial phone interview with. Following that, I spoke with the hiring manager on the phone. Then I went into the office for a series of back-to-back interviews with different management people. I had to present one of their products to senior management as part of this. A few days later, I got a callback to discuss salary and commission, and we set a start date. Finally, I got the official offer letter and was hired.

A recruiter from Software AG reached out and set up a call with the hiring managers. The hiring manager called an hour late and asked some basic yes/no questions, seeming pretty unskilled at interviewing. They then scheduled an in-person meeting for the next day, requiring a 30-minute presentation with less than 14 hours' notice. During the in-person interview, I gave a 30-minute presentation on my value to the company. I got the go-ahead, and the next day they offered me the job. The offer was about 30% less than my salary requirements, and they wouldn't negotiate, but I accepted because I needed the work.
