Was contacted by an outside recruiter who told me about the position, did a pre-screen interview and sent me link to apply. Had a 1:1 pre-screen phone interview with HR that took 30 minutes which went smoothly and after passing was sent an online personality assessment. The coordinator from ZipRecruiter called me a few hours later to tell me I passed the assessment and to schedule a 1:1 phone interview with the sales manager. The sales manager was very direct and did not give me the opportunity to clarify one of my answers and told me what my answer meant to him - without letting me elaborate or say what I meant. It was really frustrating. He also pointed out that he's interviewed other candidates who came from the company I previously worked at and said "what's going on over there I hear that place is all drama." It didn't sound like he believed me when I said that was not something I involved myself in, I'm not the type of person who cares about the workplace gossip. I go to work, get my job done, of course have fun while doing it but at the end of the day go home and don't care to invest in my co-workers issues/drama/etc... However, he did invited me to come for an in-person interview later that day and interview with him and the other sales managers. The in-person interview was with 4 sales managers, 2 managers at a time, 1 manager being on video chat and 1 in person for 30 minute time blocks and then they would switch. The first round was with the manager who interviewed me over the phone and the questions I was asked seemed more related to my previous company, including specific names of employees I worked with or under because they knew some of the employees and had relationships with them. They wanted to know what I thought they would say about me and if they were to call (specific name of employee/manager/SVP) if what I said was true would they verify it or would they say anything else? If we call your SVP and manager and ask how competitive you are or what ranking you were or how many deals you closed what will they say? Will they verify that? It seemed like they questioned everything I was saying and did not believe what I was saying to be true. This did not feel like a typical interview atmosphere. I had a difficult time understanding why my integrity, ethics and honesty were in question during the first section of the interview - as I was telling the truth and being myself with nothing to hide. The second portion of the interview went better with the 2 other sales managers who asked me questions that I believe were more relevant and standard interview questions to assess how I handle situations and what the outcomes were with specific examples. I expressed my desire to work for a company with the opportunity for growth and advancement as I do not want a "job" or to be "stuck" in one role. I asked if they offer training classes on an ongoing basis to continue the growth and success of the sales team and they told me they did. After the interviews I was asked to fill out an application form and I would hear back from them.
