The first Call was with a recruiter who wasn't particularly knowledgeable about the AE position. The second Call was with a Team Lead. First of all, he was 10 minutes late and almost forgot our meeting. There was no preparation or transparent communication whatsoever to prepare for the call. He continuously asked questions about my closing experience despite me only having worked as an SDR before (and they were well aware of this). He also expected concrete examples of specific situations but only formulated generic questions. Only made it to the second round as the recruiter told me that the team lead found that "I wasn't ready" for the AE position but everything else "was really positive". She was reluctant when I gave her feedback on the hiring process (compared to other SaaS companies). OneTrust needs to come up with a transparent interview process plan.

I applied online. I was contacted by the recruiter The recruiter only wanted to hear what she was aiming for. Tell me about your last job and your previous job. When talking about my skills and motivation, it seemed like she did not care and was even annoyed by it.
