Interview questions [3]
Question 1
At your current role, have you ever lost an opportunity or deal because of an error from somebody at your company? How did you handle the situation?
Have you had a situation where you had to ask someone from your company for assistance in order to close a deal, but the person you were asking for help wasn't going to directly benefit from the deal. How did you make it worth helping you?
Avoid this interview process at all costs. It felt like nothing more than a data gathering exercise rather than a genuine hiring effort. Every single round was conducted by a recruiter — I never spoke with an actual hiring manager or team member. A complete waste of time and effort. I would not recommend applying.

Interview
It was okay. Two interviews, phone call and zoom. Zoom was a bit weird all very feedback approached. Had to do a role play of a cold call, which I do everyday to someone who has no cold calling experience so not sure that’s the best judge

How do you think you are doing - half way through the interview
First round HR screening. Second round detailed personality analysis interview. Third round manager interview to ask about experience and motivations. Last round panel interview with presentation to describe why you're a good fit. Strong emphasis on personality fit.
