Short process. I spoke on the phone with the recruiter for TextRecruits parent company. After a few minutes of just detailing my resume and past experience the recruiter asked what my expected salary range would be for the job. I politely declined to offer a range so early in the discussion. I was pressured more and told I wouldn't be able to move forward unless I give a number range. This really made me feel uncomfortable so I said that if she wanted to offer a range of what the role pays, I'll take note of it. After almost refusing to present me with a salary, a price was finally given. I stated that number was a little below average for the area but it would be a place to start the negotiation. The recruiter stated, very aggressively, that the salary is non-negotiable. I find that hard to believe in Silicon Valley that a salary is non-negotiable. If TextRecruit won't respect their applicants with an open and honest salary discussion in the interview process, I don't want to imagine the treatment once a employee. I've interviewed with several companies in the area for an SDR role, all are offering a higher base salary.

Quick and Efficient - If your selected to proceed in the process your sent a link to an assessment which takes about an hour. It tests cognitive ability with basic reasoning questions that included math and reading. Afterwards it is followed by an initial phone screen (more in depth than screen though) followed by an interview with hiring manager and manager of another team. It was a well conducted interview with intuitive questions which came across conversational and responsive as opposed to standard "tell me when" questions. Overall good process, from initial contact to offer letter was about 2 weeks.
