I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Yelp (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
I applied to the job online, submitting a cover letter and resume online. The next day I received an email requesting a short, 15 minute phone interview. The phone interview felt like a refreshingly genuine interaction with a person--it mitigated all the typical interview questions. Next, I was asked to conduct an hour Skype interview with three managers at the location I was being considered. In this interview, I was asked, among other questions, to practice sales pitches as a future account executive. The exercise is really great in putting you in the shoes of what you will be doing in the day-to-day activities of the job. Each interviewer provides feedback, which you are asked to implement in the next pitch.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you do not have a background in sales, they will notice and really push you to convince them why you want to enter the field.
1 initial phone call to better understand the role, then if it's the right fit, second interview with some sales scenario role playing, but it's not too difficult. Overall a pretty easy process/

Interview
I applied online. I heard back within a couple of days. The process was very streamlined, with a 10 minute phone interview, 30 minute in person or online educational session and video interview and then a final phone interview. I didn't feel like the interview and the interviewers had much personality or control but it was easy and effective.
