      Senior Account Executive Interview

      Jun 23, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      I met with 4 people on the team. Two in the vertical I applied for, the hiring manager / team lead, and another Senior AE. From the initial introduction to the company from a friend, the process moved quickly and it felt like the company had its ducks in a row. Communication from the recruiting team was always within 12 hours and professional. There were 3 interviews and a final presentation. The interviews were to qualify for professional background, sales process, and behavioral/awareness. The presentation was simple. I was tasked to pitch a given prospective company in the vertical I applied for on the top line business case to partnering with Affirm. No longer than 15 minutes excluding Q&A.

      Question 1

      I thought that leaning on the sales process chops and experiences was incredibly useful in answering questions. There were also lots of Behavioral / self awareness questions as well, depending on who was interviewing you. In the deck, it all depends on which retail merchant you're tasked to pitch. With respect to the Affirm product, the business case would be different for different merchants. It goes without saying that you should know all publicly available information.
