I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accruent (Austin, TX) in Aug 2015
Interview
An initial phone interview was followed by two short aptitude tests, one online (which also included a personality portion) and another on-site. Both were relatively the same in content and focused on basic math skills, vocabulary, pattern recognition, etc. I was called a few days later to set up a day of interviews. The interview day consisted of five, 30 minute sessions with different members of the staff. The first two interviews were to test foreign language proficiency (required for the role for which I applied) and were primarily conversational in nature and vey enjoyable. The remaining three interviews were conducted in English with individuals of varying levels within the company, one in-person and two via conference calls with managers who work remotely. These conversations focused on why I wanted to work for Accruent in a consulting role when my previous work experience is in another field. The questions were predominantly behavioral and focused on specific instances in which I had led others, instigated projects on my own, the way I approach problems, learn, etc. After the interviews, my recruiter showed me around the office and went over the company benefits with me. I was then informed that I was being asked back one final interview with a hiring manager the following week. This interview was very much the same in content to the previous ones. I was very impressed with the entire interview process. My recruiter was very thorough in her communications with me and prompt in her responses. I also very much enjoyed the conversations with each of the individuals with whom I interviewed. They were all very relational and sincere in their manner of asking questions and responding to my own questions about the company.The people who I met seemed both intelligent and down to earth, making having a true exchange of ideas and experiences very natural. I felt that they truly wanted to find out if I would be a good fit for the company and if Accruent would be a right match for me. Going through the interview process made me very excited about the possibility of working alongside the individuals I met.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accruent (Salt Lake City, UT) in Nov 2021
Interview
Went through an HR screening, a 2-person 2nd round panel, and a 3-person final round. The questions centered around consulting style, experience and comfort with software and technology, and how you juggle multiple priorities or clients.
I believe my best experience was with the HR recruiter and her manager and it went very downhill from there. Recruiting is professional, has a personal touch (will call your phone if the information is better shared that way -- leaves courteous voicemails), and seemed to genuinely care about your success as an external applicant.
The final 3-person panel was bizarre in my experience. I was instructed to prepare a 30 minute demo of a software of my choice then allow 15 minutes for Q&A. I was praised for my ability to conduct the demo and answer questions but ultimately the panel seemed so completely checked out or uninterested in talking to me. In fact, the transition at 30 mins to the Q&A from a female interviewer was basically "okay enough of that let's please move on" and just seemed disrespectful to me.
I got the sense that maybe 2 or 3 of the panel either did not enjoy their jobs or want to be interviewing at al -- which either way has the effect of the applicant feeling like they dodged a bullet if they're rejected. I was rejected but considering the low total compensation, the sense this would be a stressful, overworked position, and lack of enthusiasm during the final round, I'd caution any applicants about applying to Accruent. There are simply better options out there.

Question 1
What is your strategy for relationship management?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accruent in Nov 2019
Interview
Long interview process with multiple steps. Time of response was very delayed from recruiter. Additionally, there is a competency test that must be completed before a formal offer can be extended

Question 1
Tell me about a time you dealt with conflict in the workplace
Accruent’s HR person set up a phone interview and then never actually called. She apologized the next day over email saying she was sick with no access to computer (?) and then rescheduled for the next Friday. Guess what, she ghosted on that interview too. This time no apology or further contact. Unprofessional!
