IndiaPosted Jun 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly organized, feedback-oriented AE process where I was repeatedly asked to sell my fit, often with STAR-based behavioral answers and sales role-play.

Recruiter screen — an initial call about my background and suitability for the AE role.
Manager/TA calls — questions about how I sell, who I sell to, and why I’d be effective; I was expected to respond in STAR.
Role-play: objection handling — I focused on overcoming objections and securing the next step in the conversation.
Final interviews with senior stakeholders — higher-seniority conversations that were described as intensive but still collaborative, with honest discussion of fit. Outcome: I didn’t end up getting an offer, but I felt the process was structured
