The interview process was lengthy. Screening call with HR, calls with area sales directors, other account executives. You must pass two pitch calls. The first call is approximately 30 minutes, and the second one is around 40 minutes. They want you to talk to as many people as possible to see if you are a good fit.
Four stage interview process. Way too many people involved. Last interview step was presenting their product which is a poor way to evaluate sales reps. Prospecting is the most important part of sales and if reps cant get in front of people, presentations dont matter.
A shorter and better interview process is a more effective way to evaluate candidates
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ambry Genetics
Interview
4 Step Process - Phone Screening with Recruiter, Phone Interview with Hiring Manager, Pitch Presentation on Product You Sell/Sold in Past. Final interview is a role play of their product and a why me presentation. You are expected to do as well as if you currently do the job.
I had a horrible interview experience. I had months between each step. After two and a half months of interviewing at this company, I didn't get the job. Treat candidates with respect and don't string them along for months if you're not going to hire them.
