Behavioral Case Presentation
This was awful, I'd avoid it. It's been like a month since I interviewed with Writer and still no feedback or even a rejection. I spent over 3 days getting ready for their final assessment and then they just ghosted me. It's the absolute worst interview process ever, I'd never apply here again.

Behavioral Presentation Other
The interview process spanned 7 weeks, with about a week between each step. The questions were typical for them, focusing on theoretical concepts or sales process. It felt less like a genuine conversation and more like an evaluation, with limited opportunity to ask my own questions. The demo prompt, intended for 30 minutes, felt too short given the judging criteria, though it seemed the interviewers were more interested in how a standard sales meeting would be conducted.

Behavioral Presentation
Got contacted by the recruiter first. Then had a bunch of chats with people all over the company, which included a panel demo/presentation. They were super accommodating with any questions I had, and everyone I spoke with was great. I even set up extra chats with some of them because I wanted to know more. Overall, it was a really good experience, and my recruiter was awesome at keeping me in the loop.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you describe the type of deals you've handled in terms of size, scope, and impact?
- Could you walk me through a deal you successfully won and one that you lost?
