      Senior Sales Engineer Interview

      15 Oct 2018
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Discussion with recruiters by phone. A little bit later with 2 team members also over the phone, nothing to technical to start since the role is in between sales and engineering obviously. They decided to bring me on-site for full interviews. It was a very intense interview day (presentation pitch, technical interview, complex sales situation, etc.) like any others top companies in the Bay area, but I would not join a company if they would not thoroughly check their skills to get things done right. It seemed like a very humane process compared to a lot of other companies. Everybody I spoke was very polite and courteous, and the interview process moved fairly rapidly, which I appreciated. Company seem like a great place to work. Lots of smart, professional people, and a really cool concept. Decided to join and can't wait to start!
