      Field Sales Interview

      May 7, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cengage (Austin, TX)

      Interview

      Very unprofessional and lengthy process. Total of seven interviews, one final one being a group panel presentation that took me 9 hrs to prepare. Whole process of interviewing lasted a month. On the day of my presentation even though two people were invited to the panel a total of five showed up. If I knew there were going to be five I would have designed a different presentation. Icing on the cake was that their demo login to show how I mastered their product usage was broken. So I lost a large part of what I had prepared because of their tech systems not working. 3 days after the group panel interview I got a call saying I didn’t get an offer and they went with someone else. It is what it is but I would not recommend bothering with the process because it is too lengthy and laborious. Wasted a lot of my time for nothing and incompetence. Probably did me a favor.

      Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We appreciate your honest feedback and you bringing this experience to light. We actively monitor the Glassdoor reviews so we can better understand how to improve our interview experience for candidates. I’d like to apologize for the technical issues that surrounded your presentation. We also recognize that there was some miscommunication about the process, and that it was lengthy, these are both areas we are actively working to address at Cengage. Again thank you for your input and I wish you the best in your search. Sincerely, Michael Cassani, VP, HR Business Partner
