      Sales Interview

      May 30, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Proofpoint

      Interview

      I was recruited by Wombat. The on site interview was to be with 4 people. After arriving I was informed 2 of the 4 had schedule conflicts. Being that my interview was scheduled 5 days prior, couldn’t someone have called me to reschedule? Prior to the interview I needed to submit an online application and release for a background check. Both required my SS#. I was also required to take a personality test. One would think this is more necessary after the process not before.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Proofpoint in Nov 2023

      Interview

      Very unprofessional hr recruiter. Lacked transparency. Kept me on the sidelines for months without a definitive no until they found someone better. Interviewed with recruiter, hiring manager, solutions architect director, and a current team member. The recruiter would tell me on numerous occasions that ste would update me tomorrow or in a few days with next steps and completely would go dark, and rinse and repeat this strange communication the next week. Why couldn’t she just tell me no or offer some transparency? she told me more than twice the hiring manager was out sick or on vacation and that she had scheduled time to review and would get back to me by set date. She cloud have just been honest and let me know they needed more time to evaluate other candidates but this was never communicated. Three months into the process and I still haven’t gotten a definitive no or an automated rejection email and she’s still leading me on. Its pretty crazy.
