Behavioral Case

The interview process was pretty smooth and easy to follow, and it didn't take too long but also didn't feel rushed. They laid out each step clearly so I always knew what was coming. It started with a quick screening, then I had two chats with different people from the team, and finally, I did an in-person case study. Everyone I talked to was really nice and smart, which gave me a good vibe about the company and the team. My recruiter, Erin, was also super helpful. She kept things moving, made sure I was ready for each part, and even took the time to figure out the best role for me based on my background. It felt like she knew the company and the job really well, which made me trust her. Overall, it was a really good experience with clear expectations, great conversations, and a recruiter who made it enjoyable.

Presentation Behavioral

I had a great experience with the ZoomInfo interview process for the Account Manager role. McKenzie Menacho was incredibly thorough, proactive, and professional from start to finish. She laid out the full process clearly from the beginning and followed it exactly as described, which made everything feel smooth and transparent. McKenzie was a great point of contact — super responsive, always available to answer questions, and acted as a true partner throughout the process. The pacing was just right, and I felt supported and well-prepared at every stage thanks to her guidance and communication.

Coding System Design

This was a really all over the place interview process. I always had to chase the recruiter for updates, felt like they weren't doing anything. The coding interview was weird, the interviewer had a custom problem related to a company-specific domain they were working on, with a long description and vague diagram, and the code was super long (200-300 lines) for a 45 min interview. The system design interview also had super long problem descriptions. The hiring manager seemed okay but maybe a fast climber. Feedback was all over the place, they said I had the experience but also lacked skills. If this is how they run things, I can see why the stock is doing poorly.

Behavioral Presentation

I initially got denied after 2 interviews because I didn't talk enough about my athletic background. The recruiter disagreed with the hiring team's feedback and got me a third interview. In that third interview, I planned to address their feedback directly, but instead, they made me redo the interview as if the previous ones never happened, which really threw me off. I had to find a way to naturally bring up their initial concerns and the reason for my denial. Even though I showed I had the qualities and values they were looking for, I was rejected based on my performance in their role-play exercise, which is something they're supposed to teach in onboarding. It felt way too intense for an entry-level job, and honestly, it felt like they didn't want to hire anyone, given the feedback on the first two interviews. The recruiter was great, though, very supportive. I did everything he suggested – studied, watched videos, learned about the company, expressed my desire for a sales career, and talked about my character – but I was still denied. Despite my strong interest in a sales career and working for ZoomInfo, the third interview left me feeling very unenthusiastic about the team and the company. It was like a bad joke.
