      Account Executive Interview

      Aug 23, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Oakland, CA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Broadly (Oakland, CA)

      Interview

      2 phone screens followed by a 2 hour round robin interview with 4 people in their office in Oakland. Role comes with a quota makeup fee that you don't get paid on. So essentially reps are not paid on the first 33% of business they close each quarter. This makeup fee, or essentially debt to the company, was only disclosed after I'd invested several days of time into Broadly, which comes off as un-transparent, but not necessarily unethical. It simply harms the commission based compensation of reps by 33%. So when calculating your EV at Broadly, be sure to subtract accordingly. This style must work for them as they are looking to attract SMB style Yelp/DemandForce talent and not complex deal cycle account executives.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry you feel that way. We believe we have a competitive, well-written compensation plan. We offer a base salary, but you cover it (including benefits), before the significant commission plan kicks in. This plan is fair and rewards those that achieve or surpass quota. We’ve borrowed the concept of a “cover” from other successful SaaS companies and molded ours based on what Jason Lemkin at Saastr describes here in this article: https://www.saastr.com/a-framework-and-some-ideas-for-your-first-sales-comp-plan/

      I applied online. I interviewed at Broadly (Salt Lake City, UT) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Applied, heard back within a couple hours that they'd like to chat with me more. Connected with Recruiter, she was very friendly and explained the position clearly. She was very helpful in prepping me for the next round of interviews. A couple days later did a Zoom meeting with 2 people from management that was about 45 minutes long immediately after that ended I was connected with VP and had a brief chat with him. In exactly 24 hours I was contacted with offer.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Broadly in Jan 2021

      Interview

      I interviewed with Ashleigh for an initial phone screen to which I was told I would move forward to a "speed dating" style double interview and to prepare a sales pitch on anything. My first interview with Nadia and Mike went fairly well and only lasted for about 30 of the scheduled 45 minutes. The feedback I received from them was positive and that they would gladly have me move forward to the final with Sandra and Marc. The meeting with them also went, what I believed, pretty well. I asked when I might hear back and they said the next day. I checked my email the following day and at exactly 5p I received this automated message: "Dear XXX, Thank you for taking the time to consider Broadly. We appreciate the effort you took to apply to our Account Executive (Remote) position. Despite the quality of your profile and experience, we have made the decision to not move with an interview at this time. We appreciate your interest and wish you much success in your job search! <B>est Regards, Broadly | Talent Team" I have attempted to reach out for additional feedback but there has been no response to my emails nor LinkedIn outreach.
