First and foremost, I wanted to share that I had a really positive experience with the recruiter. She was transparent and communicated with me thoroughly throughout every stage. She also offered and provided feedback over the phone, which I thought was kind and helpful. I was disappointed in my experience interviewing with the Sales team. Despite being upfront about my lack of direct BDR experience, I was later informed that they were seeking candidates with quota-carrying experience and specific educational backgrounds. There was also a lack of internal communication within the company. I was misled by one interviewer who wished me luck and a great conversation with the rest of the panel, which was already scheduled (implying I was confirmed for the second part of the final interview), despite being told after the decision not to move forward with my candidacy. Overall, my experience with Grammarly's hiring process for the BDR role with the team was disappointing and lacked transparency.
