Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Brightedge Technologies (San Mateo, CA)
Colloquio
I went through 2 rounds of phone interviews. The first was with a recruiter who responded very quickly after I had applied and was very professional/helpful with tips for the position. The second interviewer wasn't very friendly & had a really uninterested demeanor over the phone. It felt like she had a million other things that she preferred to be doing.
Ultimately, I never heard back from anyone (which I guess fits in with the second interview's result). I found it unprofessional because the second interviewer did specifically mention that someone would at least reach out to confirm what the result was. I worked hard on the interview preparation & truly respected the company, so I just found it in very bad taste to not even provide some closure for a candidate. Not offering a job is fine, but I just think it's a sign of bad character to not even follow up with someone when 1) you said that you would and 2) the candidate really respected the company.

Colloquio
After applying, a BrightEdge recruiter reached out to me to see if I would be a good fit to recommend to the company. The recruiter then helps you prepare for both your initial phone interview and if all goes well, you must pass an online skills test regarding SEO and organic search. After passing that, they invite you in for an in person interview with a round of managers and VP of sales. You could tell the company really cares about who they hire and are looking for the smartest and most coachable people to join their team. I came into the interview with sales experience but little to no knowledge of SEO.

Tell me about yourself. Why BrightEdge? Why Sales? How would you handle an objection? Describe a time when you were struggling and how you overcame it. A lot of standard interview questions, but also a few challenging ones that really make you think.

Colloquio
initial interview consisted of 3 steps, the first was a phone screen with the recruiter that just asked basic questions like why BE, why sales, etc.... The second was a second more in-depth phone interview with a manager. And third was an in person interview with several employees in different sales roles, such as an Enterprise Business Rep, a Sales Manager, an AE, and VP of Sales. Definitely an eye-opening and insightful interview process - BrightEdge gives you a real account of what to expect in the role, and also what they expect out of someone the the EBR role.
