      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Proofpoint (Salt Lake City, UT) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      Contacted and screened by the recruiter and set up initial phone interview with the hiring manager. Next was an in-person interview with the hiring manager. Next was a panel interview with several co-workers. Next was presenting a 30-60-90 day plan to a group of leaders. After that was a phone or in-person interview with the executive.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard questioning but expected you to know their sale. "How can you come in and make a difference with the team?" "What can you do to earn their respect?"
