I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CA Technologies (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2011
Interview
Hiring was four interviews with some starts and stops in the process, reflecting internal " is the requisition available?" delays. Watch for scenario questions related to competitive activity and be prepared to speak at a moderately deep technical level for the practice that you are associated with ( service assurance, work-flow automation, security, etc.)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the most critical element in the software sales cycle? Contrast how that fits into the customer "buying cycle" versus your " selling process." Is the element the same in both? Why?
