      Sales Engineer Interview

      Sep 20, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Avaya in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Phone and video-conference interviews with hiring managers and peers. First interviewed with HR, basic phone screen. Next a one-on-one with the hiring manager which went very well by his feedback. Next a group video-conference which was very strange. Avaya has you download their video-conference client, which may or may not be supported by your browser/OS environment. Make sure you test it thoroughly long before your meeting. Even then it may still give you problems. The group was made up of a peer, the hiring manager, his peer, and his boss. Some of the people were on video, others on cell phone only - communication issues were challenging. Questions were presented along the lines of "describe how you deal with X or Y". There did not seem to be a logical order and they admitted to "breaking script". The biggest concern - one of the group was using the video-conference chat sidebar to talk about me as I was answering questions. apparently unaware that I could see everything he was typing. This had a very distracting effect for me. Perhaps that was by design, but I found it very unprofessional. Further, I would have expected senior level sales engineers to be familiar with how video-conference features work, particularly when they are of their own design. Though I was not made an offer, I did not follow up after this call and likely would not have accepted.

      Question 1

      None of the questions were particularly difficult - standard "How do you deal with objections" type of stuff.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Avaya (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      A very easy two-interview process with the hiring manager and another manager. I did pre with some other SE, but it didn't have anything to do with the interview. Then the onboarding person took some time.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Avaya (Singapore) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      The interview process was tough; took 6 rounds but it was a great process. Great test of technical skills through a number of technical review with senior technical leadership and soft skills with senior business leadership.
