The interview process took over a month and involved multiple stages, including recruiter 2-3 calls, manager interview, a mock exercise, and a final panel presentation.
While communication from the recruiting team was good, the overall process felt unnecessarily long given the level of the role and the amount of preparation required from candidates.
The panel itself felt cold and one-sided, with varying levels of engagement from the interviewers. The final feedback centered around enterprise sales concepts despite these areas not being clearly emphasized throughout the earlier stages of the process.
The lengthy timeline, combined with seeing hiring announcements appear during the interview cycle, made it difficult to understand how open the process remained for candidates progressing through the later stages.
Overall, the evaluation criteria only became fully apparent at the very end, after a significant investment of time and effort.
