I interviewed with the HR manager, Area Sales Manager, Head of Sales Manager, Marketing Manager, and the Head of Sales of the territory. We talked about my background and experience. They said team spirit and the ability to adapt to work challenges are really important.

Behavioral Technical
I had an initial phone interview with a recruiter and then a second interview with the hiring manager. I'm rating this a negative experience because this is the second time in the past year that I've interviewed or had serious discussions with hiring managers at this company in completely different regions. Both times, instead of responding to emails or communicating they're going with another candidate, they've just completely ghosted me. The fact that this has happened by different people across the country shows it's a company-wide culture of disrespect. Also, despite their flowery posts on LinkedIn about diversity and appreciating women, they are still not interested in hiring anyone who is not a white male. I'd recommend going with competitors.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview was surprisingly very simple. After shortlisting, I got a telephone call for the interview. Four people were on the panel and I was told the results within six hours. They asked questions, and at the end I got to ask them questions. The whole thing lasted about 30 minutes. It felt more like a discussion than an interview, and the panel was professional but friendly.
