I applied online and received an email with a writing assignment. Similar to an earlier review, I researched the website and was able to find good answers for most of the questions. I received an invite to come in for an in-person interview a couple days following my submission of the assignment. When I arrived at the office they had me shadow a few reps followed by interviews with the manager of the department, the team lead at the time, and the VP of the department. Everyone was really welcoming and I felt very comfortable while speaking to everyone. I was extended an offer a couple days later and accepted on the spot, that was 10 months ago and I still very much enjoy working here. I am sure the interview process has changed a bit since then because our department has grown quite a bit, but you still get to speak to the same people that I interviewed with while you're here.

The interview process was very structured. First, you do a phone screening with a recruiter and if you make it to the next step, there is a simple homework assignment. Secondly, you have a follow up mock call with the CSR team lead. After that, you have an in-person 3 round interview.

The interview process accurately portrays the business. I have several friends that work here. All the value is placed in the business and no value is placed in you as a candidate. Also, make no mistake, this is a sales position. The "success" part of the job title is because the main KPI for this position is sales made monthly.
They emailed me three times asking me to complete a writing assignment. Here are the questions:
1) You are a realtor in Wilmington, NC. Create a Facebook business page that shows how committed you are to the local boating community. Please copy and paste the Facebook URL as your answer to this question.
2) You work at a hotel, and a customer booked a room with a king-size bed for their honeymoon. When they check in and walk into their room, they find it has two twin-sized beds. They send you an email and are very upset. How do you respond?
3) You work at OutboundEngine, and a customer emails in and asks, "Should I use your service and send out my own emails via Constant Contact?" How do you respond? "
After that round they scheduled a phone interview. The person I spoke with was flustered and disorganized the entire time. After speaking with him he scheduled a mock sales call. They sent me an assignment and a number to call to try to give a sales pitch to the person who picked up the phone. At this point i knew I could not work for this company, and I had just accepted a different offer with another startup in town, but I continued just to see how their process worked.
After the sales pitch call they scheduled an in person interview. It was very disorganized, there is no on site parking for candidates, and when I went to the office they told me to go to, there was no place to check in and I had to walk up to someones desk in order to get help.
The in person interview lasted two and a half hours. I shadowed an employee and then was interviewed by four different managers- who all asked the same questions.
Overall its a sad display of what happens when a startup gets funded and starts to forget that the people are what is most important.

Classic tell me about a time when... type questions. Why do you want to work here? what got you interested in outbound engine? lots of emphasis on the sales aspect of the job. One guys main interview question was "teach me something."

Had a phone screening that went well then I was invited on site and met with 3 different people. The first girl was nice and asked background and behavorial interview questions. The 2nd woman wasn't as nice and asked tougher questions. The last guy was young and conceited and tried to make me angry by saying outlandish things to get my reaction. This was easily my worst interview experience. I'd recommend staying away from this place.
