I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ZoomInfo (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Had a 30-minute phone screen with a recruiter. Then was moved onto the 30-minute Zoom interview with the hiring manager. Was cut from the process after meeting with the hiring manager. He didn't think I had the necessary sales experience to be an Account Executive at ZoomInfo, despite having 10+ years of B2B sales experience. They offered me the option to interview for an SDR position which paid less than half of what I had been making. I declined.

Interview
Check out the team on ZoomInfo, and you might get an idea of whether you'll be selected or not. My first-round interview with HR was a bit off, the recruiter came across as rude and rushed through the conversation. I didn’t hear back for 2 weeks until her colleague reached out to schedule the next round with two managers.
Honestly, it was the worst interview experience I’ve ever had. Both managers seemed uninterested the moment they joined, one even showed up 10 minutes late without saying anything. Felt like they just wanted to get it done with, which made me feel very uncomfortable right from the start. Understand that work can be hectic, but I would’ve appreciated transparency or a rescheduled call rather than feeling like I was intruding on their time.
Great company with excellent products, can definitely see why companies buy them, but the whole interview left such a bad impression.

I applied online.
I was contacted by the recruiter
The recruiter only wanted to hear what she was aiming for.
When talking about my skills and motivation, it seemed like she did not care and was even annoyed by it.

Question 1
Tell me about your last job and your previous job.
Multiple meetings with people up and down the org. Was turned away at some point with no feedback as to why. Maybe they get a lot of applicants, but they continue to fire lots of AE's every year. They also keep bringing in people with no software experience which is interesting.
