I had an initial call with a recruiter, then an in person interview, then a sales presentation. I was honestly surprised to get a call about this role because I had about a year less experience than what they were looking for. In my initial phone screen, I asked the recruiter if she thought that the Sales Development Representative role would be a better fit for my experience, but she said I was "definitely being considered for the AE role." When I had my in person interview, the people interviewing me said that I wasn't as experienced as other people they were interviewing, which discouraged me because I almost felt like I wasn't taken seriously. I said I was open to the SDR role as well. I must have done well because they pushed me through to the last step (sales presentation). They said I did a good job but again, lacked experience that other candidates had. After the last step, I was called by the first recruiter and she said that candidates with more experience were selected for the job and that she'd connect me with the SDR recruiter. I felt that they knew I was under-qualified the whole time, yet still kept pushing me through to the next steps of the interview. I felt that I wasted my time and theirs. The whole thing seemed pretty disorganized and I don't have interest in another role with them, which is a shame because on the outside looking in I really thought this was a great opportunity/company.
