      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sweetwater (Fort Wayne, IN) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      To start when applying for this job right at the beginning of the application it tells you in bold letters, "Sweetwater is a drug free workplace. All candidates must submit to a test for illegal drugs, INCLUDING MARIJUANA, before any job offer will be extended," and this was a concern for me as I am a medical marijuana patient where I live so I asked about that and the interviewer pretty much gaslit me saying that they don't test for marijuana, and I didn't read it right. My next question was about commission and the interviewer started saying that wasn't the case for the Category Advisor position and asking me what interested me in that position, I told the interviewer that I was confused as I thought I had applied for a Sales Engineer position, to which the interviewer proceeds to say that I did in fact apply for sales. Last major red flag for me was the interviewer seemed to want my undying loyalty to this company. It's a job not an entire lifestyle and many employers are making this mistake. You sign my paycheck that is all, we as humans do not owe any company everything we have. Honestly, I feel like they won't even offer me the position at this point, but I'd most likely turn it down if they did anyways. Something doesn't sit right with me about this company, just kind of screams "we want slaves that will devote their entire life to our company."

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They mostly just ask about your background and all the other typical interview questions. Some of them make the company seem like a cult mentality though

      Application

      I interviewed at Sweetwater

      Interview

      3 rounds of phone and in person interviews on top of “how did you think you did” style questions after the interview. All in all it wasn’t too bad. The training is 13 weeks of intense “drinking from the fire hose” graduate level gear knowledge

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sweetwater (Fort Wayne, IN) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      I had a short phone interview asking about my knowledge and experience. First I got a tour of the campus, and a history of the business and founder. After that, I took a 170 question interview (2 hours). You’re expected to fail this test, so don’t trip if you don’t know a lot of it. Next I ate lunch with a couple of their employees (great cafeteria). After lunch, I had a mock session with possible Sweetwater lead. Some people do this part on the phone before flying out. Next I answered questions that gave them a better idea of who I am as a person. What motivates you to do what you do, what makes you depressed, what could you see causing you to not pass Sweetwater Uni, etc… Lastly I took a drug test (not for THC), & got a job afterwards. It normally takes a day - week for an offer, so don’t trip if it takes a min.
