Seattle, WAPosted Sep 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for an Account Executive role in an easy process that mixed a product/industry check with hands-on sample sales practice, spanning a phone screen through in-person meetings and shadowing.

Phone screen — Questions about how well I knew the product/industry.
In-person interview — Sample sales practices, including walking through how I’d approach sales scenarios.
In-person interview + job shadow — Continued evaluation of my sales execution, followed by shadowing to see the work firsthand. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, but it felt straightforward and not overly stressful—more practice-oriented than technical.
