United StatesPosted Sep 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for an AE role through a process that felt more “hands-on” and role-revealing, mixing recruiter/sales discussions with product or customer-facing context, though one manager interaction was rough.

Initial screen (HR/recruiter phone) — I started with a recruiter conversation and learned what to expect next.
Manager/Director interview (Zoom or in person) — I answered situational and experience-based questions, often framed to show how I handle customers under pressure.
Second-stage customer/product exposure — I was brought into additional sessions like product demonstrations and/or shadow time with reps to see the work firsthand.
Assessment (in some flows) — I encountered an assessment test step that they used as a signal before further interviews.
