There was a screening interview, then an interview with the manager, then a panel interview with a presentation. So all up there were three stages and it took about two weeks overall. The manager seemed quite excited by me in the second interview, but when it came to the panel interview they didn't like what I had to say and didn't care that I had technical difficulties and said they were interviewing other people at the end, so I already know I didn't get the job. Then just now I got a call from the recruiter saying I'm not a good fit. Not a good fit in what way? I've done this job, meeting and exceeding my quotas. I blend in well with others. I'm well spoken, and I'm good at my job. Yet these three people managed to make me feel like utter rubbish. The presentation I did took at least 3 hours to prepare, and I said to the recruiter that if I encounter any more interviews with this as a component I will decline as it is a waste of my time, and she said it's just a part of the process when interviewing - I disagree; I can choose which interview formats I will accept. I was given an offer even before I did this last interview, and I should have just cancelled this one. I haven't cried in a long time, but I did today. Do not do this to anyone else and remember there are more jobs than there are people right now, and that you have had this job up for a long time. Do you actually want to hire anyone? Or maybe no one wants a job where it's hard to get compensated by the AEs as was told to me in the second interview. Also, the recruiter asked where my offer is in a condescending way, and I declined to say. She then said she will look on my profile as to where it is, indicating she didn't believe me. I have blocked her and the other people involved in interviewing me, as this makes me uncomfortable.

I applied through Linkedin and got a phone screen set up with a recruiter promptly. After a brief 20 minute screen with her, I was set up with an SDR manager for a 45-minute call, where we went over my qualifications and what the role entailed. The manager was well informed and extremely professional. After the two screens, I was invited to a panel with 5 folks where I gave a presentation on myself and my understanding of the company. That was followed by two mock cold calls and a mock email. The panel did a great job in telling about the pros of the role and gave real-time feedback that I was able to incorporate into the mock calls. I received an offer about a week later and was able to start immediately. Overall a very smooth process.
