I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Boston, MA) in Dec 2016
Interview
A screening phone interview followed by pretty straight forward 1-on-1 interview sessions with sales leadership from Bellevue, WA. They went over background questions, role details, and their vision for the upcoming Boston teams. The experience took a negative turn when I was left in one of the interview rooms for over 30 minutes. When I came out of the room I received no explanation or apology. It was a very unprofessional situation and one of the most uncomfortable interview experiences I've ever had. Judging by the other Boston interview review, they clearly did not take the time to update candidates in the manner they had promised. If this experience is in any way reflective of how well the company is organized I would stay far away...

Question 1
What type of sales approach has worked for you in the past?
Can you give an example of a large win you were most proud of and why?
The interview process is pretty thorough. You first speak to HR to validate the initial fit , then interview with few team managers, directors, and finally, the segment VP. The structure of the interview with each manager and director is similar they mainly want to get to know you, why you're applying to Smartsheet, and if you would be a good fit for the team and company.

Interview
Taking time out of my day to write this review to prevent others from an excruciating process. I was put through 3 rounds, 7 interviewers and over 5 hours of interviewing. They kept asking the same redundant questions over and over throughout every interviewer - I felt like I was looping. In the end I decided to drop the interview process bc at that point it felt like they were taken advantage of me. Shortly after I landed my dream gig and getting paid a lot more .... save yourself

Interview
I'm only here to warn future interviewees - this was easily the worst interview process I've ever been apart of.... At first they told me I was a perfect fit the role and company and put me through 7 interviews leading up to the VP all for a total of 6 hours until they thought my previous experiences (5 years of sales) wouldn't apply to the role.....I'm honestly still traumatized from this experience
