Standard interview process when it comes to sales roles. Recruiters do a great job in keeping you in the loop and informed of next steps.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Box (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
I did the first round phone interview with a hiring manager. There was no outline given before the call on what would be covered. We had a 30 minute conversation about the role and a little bit about my background. It felt like the main purpose of the call was to "answer any questions I had about the role" and that's pretty much it. I wasn't asked to come in for an onsite interview because I didn't fit the needs the team was looking for at this time - even though we hardly talked about me or my skill set. The interview was a waste of time and preparation.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Box (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Phone call with the lovely amazing recruiter Anna Schernig to start where she lays out the whole process. You then have a phone call with a hiring manager prior to bringing you in for a two hour in-person where you are interviewed by four different hiring managers. Last interview is an intense 30-60-90 to the director of sales showing your sales knowledge. Be sure to prepare if you want the job. Anna is an awesome resource from start to end, and shows she cares about you as a person and not just a lead. Great sign of an amazing culture at Box.
I got the offer, and it was the hardest no I have ever given. Another very well known company in San Francisco upped their offer significantly after hearing about the offer at Box. Wasn't looking to negotiate based on offers, but when I told them I was going to take the Box offer I received a call from my new companies director offering too much to say no to. Maybe in the future Box...
When I am a CEO, I am hiring Anna Schernig as a recruiter.
