I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Sept 2014
Interview
Unfortunately this experience was weak and lackluster. The recruiter that initially contacted me was extremely junior and it showed via the phone. I could tell her ability to carry on a professional conversation was lacking. Her ability to follow up also was lacking.
I moved onto an in person interview in the Austin Office. The office isn't in the most desirable area of the city and only has sales, client services (where account management is housed in the org chart) and some marketing. I was told numerous times the office is "growing" and it definitely had a start up vibe. The person I interviewed with seemed down to earth and we had a normal business conversation. Overall the face to face portion of the interview was as expected. I was suppose to have a second interview that day but that Manager was not able to make it. From there I was told I would it would be rescheduled. Two days later I got the rejection email.
Interview process was great. First was a screening call with recruiter, we talked about relevant experience, data driven experience is important. Second round was dual 30 minute interviews with hiring managers, asked about sales skills and work ethic. Final interview was with director, sales role play and behavioral interview. All team members were very transparent and willing to answer questions.

Question 1
How do you leverage data to make sales in your current role?
Okay, it was quick and informative. Not sure if i would want to move forward as it was quick. Overall nice people and no complaints. Happy to provide more if needed

Interview
Had 4 interviews. One interview, the manager was out so I had to interview with a director instead. I then went on to the final round and had to do another interview with that same director which made things awkward since we had already conducted an interview. For the final round, I was given a small amount of material prior and had to do a roleplay phone call based on that interview. The roleplay went great, but the final interview part got even more awkward because the director was no longer asking qualifying questions, instead, more personal ones that I guess were important? They asked what the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life (which turned the convo negative), asked about what I do in my personal life to prepare for a days work. Swearing they wanted me to tell them that I meditated and did yoga or something. It was overall a weird experience in that 4th round.
