Entrevista
Utterly horrible interview process, which culminated in a presentation and live case study. Given my experience, it’s clear candidates are given next to nothing in order to prepare for the interview presentation. I did my best with what I had, but when you’re told you’ll be cut off at 20 minutes and expected to know how the platform works without any prep resources, good luck!
They provided feedback that I honestly found offensive. As someone who’s had immense success in my career in sales and account management so far, their feedback was laughable. “Why didn’t you get to know the client at the beginning of the call?”, “ Why didn’t you provide more targeted recommendations?”…. Well? Because I didn’t have enough time to include them! And further, how does one provide real recommendations that are product centric when I’m given no info on what those recommendations and features would be?
The case study- LOL. They have you intently read a slide which you think you’ll have to reference in order to answer the case study. Nope! The slide had nothing to do with it. And once again, you can’t give a good answer to the case study without knowing how the product works.
What a joke. Don’t let them waste your time. You’ll walk away feeling used and offended.

How did you deal with a challenging client situation?
It was a distasteful experience being interviewed by this Head of Sales who gave off the vibe that he already predetermined that I wasn't his ideal profile even before the call started.
During the last part where I could ask questions, he started looking disengaged at giving proper answers and instead answered incoherently or deflect my questions back to me asking me to answer my own questions when I wanted to understand more about the business.
This shows he gives little respect to a sincere candidate who was genuinely interested in joining the company.
It was disappointing to be already feeling rejected during the interview itself and to know that opportunity just blew off since the thought of having to work around him just put me off.
It's a shame as I felt I could really work well with the direct manager of this role and perhaps other AEs under this guy whom I probably won't need to deal with that extensively day in day out.

It was smooth and great process for everyone. I recommend for anyone any time to prepare very well for it. It was smooth and great process for everyone. I recommend for anyone any time to prepare very well for it
