Had a great call with the recruiter, she seemed interested in me and brought me onto the next round. Really nice person and went super well.
Next I met with a director, and while it was admittedly not my best interview, she was borderline condescending. She told me I "wasn't being vulnerable enough during my interview", which is weird because it's a job interview not a therapy session. I mentioned a time in college that I had struggled during a class and got a bad grade despite working hard and she said "what, did you have a perfect GPA or something before that class?". Just off putting and condescending.
I'm sure it's a great company to work for, but I was so put off by her that I no longer had any interest in the job.

Pretty long tedious process. Screening, manager call, activity, panel and more questions. A lot of work for the acticiry qnd presentation and also a lot of different people to interview with
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Outreach (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Very straight forward. Asked about background, sales experience. Did some sales role play, but was mostly behavioral. Overall, it was quite easy and did not require too much preparation. Just make sure you can talk about yourself and know what the platform and product are and do.

Question 1
How would you best deal with a customer saying this is too expensive?
The recruiting team was lovely to work with. The interview with the hiring manager, however, was heavily scripted and inhibited any kind of connection. It was definitely a one-sided experience.
