The HR lady organized a phone interview with one of the German sales managers in their Dublin location. The first thing the sales manager said to me on the phone was that he has only 15 mins. time for the interview. So he started rushing through some sales question which were ok but then he started asking more personal questions like what I do in my free time, what kind of music I was listening to. This sales manager was looking for anything else but a sales rep. This guy was really shady!

The interview process consisted of an initial phone screening, followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager and team members. The questions focused on sales experience, problem-solving skills, and situational responses. The process was well-organized and communication was prompt throughout.

I had several initial conversations with the Human Resources gatekeepers that were all are flawless. Leads to no second interview with their multi step interview process. Would rather talk with AI bot instead.

Absolutely amazing. Wanted all of the information without even having to give my exact options in the future. Nothing bothered me in the interview. The intviewer led me down the correct path.
