It was a extremely lengthy, involved process and I put a large amount of work into it every step of the way. I created project and presentation after presentation, as well as a case study of a restaurant. It all culminated in an interview with the final hiring party. I had taken care of a sick baby all night without sleep the night before and I stumble for my presentation/scenario with this final boss person. I was meant to make a detailed and informed pitch for him, but I stumbled on a few numbers. It was extremely nerve-racking, the entire situation. I was told they didn't want to go forward after MONTHS of interviewing with them and refusing other offers. It was a colossal waste of time and effort on my part, and I'm sure theirs as well. With over 10 years worth of experience in food and beverage sales, my contact list alone could have brought them an incredible amount of business, but one moment of number stumbling and they missed out. In the end, I'm glad that I did not take a job with them, as I reached out to learn more about the company from two people who were friends of mine from the industry that worked there: they both relayed that the work life balance there was terrible, that they don't have a great culture around inclusion etc.

Very invested in the "Challenge" selling style, very old-school pushy style. Very few questions about me. An amazing number of hoops to jump through.
The interview process consisted of four rounds: a recruiter screen, a hiring manager interview, a mock sales exercise, and a final interview. Overall, the process was well organized and professional.
I invested a significant amount of time preparing because this was a role I genuinely wanted. Unfortunately, I was not selected to move forward to the third round. Based on my experience, I believe my limited direct sales background was the primary factor, although the feedback process was respectful and transparent throughout.

I did an initial phone screen for an AE role. The recruiter showed up a few minutes late but I didn't think much of it. We had a nice conversation and they mentioned they'd like to move me forward. I didn't hear anything for a week or so when they reached out saying they had been swamped and would schedule me shortly. They reached out a 2nd time saying the internal schedule was busy but they'd get something on the calendar soon. Then I received an auto rejection. Not a great experience, it just made the company look extremely unorganized.

First I do appreciate the fact that they got back to me and gave me a “no” instead of ghosting, but the compliments will end there.
The first round with the recruiter was fantastic. She said I sounded like a great fit and was excited to pass me to the next round. Fast forward to that next round and I could tell right away the sales manager had zero interest in talking to me. The most monotone voice, didn’t show interest in my prior experience, asked some questions that i didn’t think were relevant. She definitely was just there to check the box. Not long after I got the rejection email.
understand it’s part of the game but i followed all the interview prep provided to me and it seemed like no matter what I wasn’t moving past that second round.
