      Business Development Manager Interview

      Oct 24, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zendesk (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      Expect at least 2 phone interviews, an on-site with team members (hiring manager + peers). Final round was a homework assignment -- a writing prompt to include a competitive analysis that was submitted to the hiring manager (not presented in person). Overall neutral experience as HR was friendly and but could have been slightly more timely in responding. The entire process could have also been improved with regards to the overall duration, starting from the application to "final round" (lasting almost 2 months).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What type of strategic partnerships do you think would be a good fit for the company and why (specifically, name companies to target)?
