Interesting recruitment process, it makes little sense. They are not looking at sales skills but how well you interview. I get the sense they are looking for obedient people who will toe the line well rather than top tier sales representatives. Feedback was focused on how you interviewed, not the skills you brought to the table. Not for anyone with start up and scale up experience. I don’t think you need to work for deals here but it seems like you need to abide by their “structure” OTE is not worth losing your creativity and drive for.
They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
