It was a pretty standard process. First, there was a personality test to gauge sales aptitude, given that it's a long sales cycle. Then, I had two phone interviews. Finally, I had an in-person interview with the regional team at their office. Overall, it was a simple and straightforward experience.

The interview process was a bit different. First, I had a phone interview with the person who would report to me. Then, I was invited for an in-person meeting. Three interviewers were present, and they didn't ask many questions. Instead, they kept emphasizing that this was a brand-new role that would likely face many challenges. It felt like they were trying to discourage candidates. I got the impression they weren't really serious about filling the position. I asked for feedback afterward, but got none.

So, the interview process took place over two weeks, with four interviews total. The first week, I had a 30-minute chat with HR, then a 45-minute interview with the department manager. After that, there was a hands-on interview with some future colleagues, where I worked with the machines and software, which also lasted about 45 minutes. The second week, I talked to the department manager again, and then had a final interview with another department manager.
