I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hacken (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
The whole process took about two weeks and was very smooth. It started with a call with the recruiter, who asked interesting questions and shared a lot of useful information about the company, its culture, and the internship program I applied for. I also received clear details on the timeline and what to expect in the next steps.
Next, I completed a cognitive assessment test. Finally, I had an interview with the hiring manager, who was very knowledgeable and gave me a clear understanding of the role and expectations while answering all of my questions.
Communication was professional and positive throughout, and overall I had a great impression of both the company and the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about my motivation and why I want to start my career in sales. Some of the questions were more reflective, like “How would your colleagues/friends describe you?”
They also wanted concrete examples, such as:
a time I convinced someone or successfully pitched an idea,
a situation where I turned a “no” into a “yes”,
when I had to solve a problem in a creative way,
how I prioritize when I have multiple tasks at once
