Invited to come in for an open call interview day with a regional sales manager and regional director. Had a phone screener with HR who provided feedback I would be a perfect fit. Coming out of another field, I was most interested in sales training Equinox would provide as a foundation. Found the interviewer distracted until her boss came in mid-interview. He then asked all of the same questions the manager had along with a few new ones. Clearly the decision maker, I found him to be very rude and condescending all while telling me I would be a good fit for the position. Overall questions were moderate and mainly situational (not easy/not hard/grilled on sales tactics). Wrote incredibly detailed thank you notes to both and then received a "thank you for submitting your resume but we have decided to go with another candidate" email from HR. Asked for specific feedback, reiterating I had met two team members and a form email did not make sense. She re-pasted the previous response with no actual explanation. HR rep seemed young and disconnected to the internal team and job function. Overall a unprofessional experience which I am ok with not working out.

The interview process was quick and painless. The Talent managers contacted me promptly and guided me through the initial interviews before directing me to the general manager for the formal in-person interview. Went well!
