Entrevista
I was a referral by a current employee. HR Recruiter reached out to schedule an interview. Was very professional but I personally did not vibe very much. They require AE's to be located in the exact territory, which I was not willing to do. She referred me to a different hiring team for another territory I would be willing to relocate to. She reached out a few times over two weeks to keep me updated on their progress and was great to work with.
I was not chosen to move forward, I am assuming because the location I was willing to work in is very popular so there were better-suited candidates.
She informed me of the interview process: a Hiring Manager interview with a product pitch and a VP/Director interview with a Pitch Presentation. I know people seem to think this is difficult or extensive, but it is quite typical for this type of position.

Are you willing to relocate to your territory?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
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.
