6 stage process for EAE role on EMEA team; > screening call with recruiter > 3 part process meeting leadership in US > presentation to panel inc account strategy and territory mapping > call with Head of Sales EMEA The process is well thought-out to give candidates a real and full picture of the team & culture and gives candidates so much opportunity to ask lots of questions aligned with different departments. Can’t say the process was “difficult” or “easy”, because it’s designed to best support decision making on both sides. The presentation does require a fair amount of preparation, but again, not challenging as this is what I already do in my current role.

The process started well enough, but it became increasingly disorganised and unfair. I spent significant time preparing bespoke materials for the final stage, including account strategy, territory planning, and a live roleplay, and I was flexible around reschedules and last-minute changes. The final interview was shortened because of internal scheduling issues, which made the process feel rushed and not set up for a fair evaluation. After I was rejected, there was still follow-up activity around accessing the materials I had created, which made the whole experience feel exploitative and disrespectful of my time considering they approached me!
