The interview process had 5 interviews total. It started really well. First, I met with the recruiter who was nice and knew a lot. Then, I had to complete a 5-part cognitive test. After passing that, I interviewed with the sales manager. He was energetic and seemed like a good manager. The next interview was with the VP of sales. He was a bit late and didn't say sorry. His questions were super generic, like he just thought of them. I didn't move on after that interview.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process felt long and drawn out, spanning 4 weeks and 4 rounds. I spoke with the hiring manager, VP of Sales, and CRO. Then they told me I had to interview with the CEO too. It was strange for an AE role at a company that isn't that small. They ended up canceling the interview the day before, saying they were moving on with someone else. It was super unprofessional and disorganized. It's a red flag when a company doesn't have its hiring process together.

I was connected to Workable through Launchsource, a recruiting agency that connects talent with tech startups. After that, I had a one-on-one interview at the Boston office. The interview lasted about an hour, and I also got a tour of the office.
