      Customer Success Manager Interview

      7 Apr 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Charlotte, NC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Charlotte, NC) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      This company has a pretty huge red flag, summarized at the bottom of this text. The interview process was: 1 interview with recruiter 1 interview with hiring manager 1 interview with SVP of team 2 interviews with peers I found the interview process to be mostly very professional, most of the questions were very straightforward and easy to answer if you have any experience within the role of Customer Success. I had an excellent interview with both hiring manager and my peers, who numerous times informed me that my current role and responsibilities matched their current role as well, and how suited for the job I sounded. It seems like a great team to work for and with. I ran into some trouble with the SVP interview as we seemed to disagree on the difference between customer success and service, I believe Success to be focused on proactive work, long term relationship building and helping the customer reach their short and long term goals using the product they have signed up for. This wasn't the right answer, I still do not know what is. But for anyone interviewing in the future, I hope this helps. I suspect the answer they were looking for was sales based, which is something I fundamentally disagree with. After 5 interviews and hours of investment I was informed they didn't see me having the relevant experience for the role. Confused by this, due to the feedback I'd had in interviews I asked for further feedback, where I can gain experience, what areas needed work and any other feedback they could provide. RED FLAG - They refused to provide any feedback. They acknowledged that I should desire feedback, and that I had invested a lot of time, but they were not willing to provide any interview feedback at this time. Any company that cannot provide basic feedback for a candidate is at best unprofessional, and it left me feeling like I'd dodged a bullet.

      Customer Success Manager Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Boston, MA) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      I was interviewing for a Customer Success Manager role. First round was with the recruiter, it was super easy and I got an intstant answer to move foward to the hiring manager interview. Hiring manager interview was 30 mins, plus about a week to hear back. Third round, was 3 back to back interviews (Senior CSM, AM, and CS Director). These were straightforward getting to know you and "tell me about a time and situation" type questions. The final interview was the technical interview, and a vague prompt was provided (take the scenario and create a smartsheet solution, PowerPoint to show the solution etc.) They provided a week to learn and prepare, the tool is huge and there's so much open for interpretation. During the technical interview, you will be presenting the solution and ppt to the 'fake company' in the scenario, who will be asking questions and drilling you.

      Customer Success Manager Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Smartsheet in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Initially applied for Senior CSM and CSM II positions and was rejected for both. Finally applied for a CSM I position and had 30-minute screening interview with HR. HR rep had a set of CSM-related questions, obviously put together by the hiring manager. Was sent a rejection 1-2 days thereafter. (To be generous to myself, I was over qualified for an entry level CSM position, but the job market is brutal right now). The stated salary in the job posting was $67,500 - $99,900 for California & New York and $62,500 - $92,500 everywhere else. IIRC the HR rep said they were targeting $80-85k for my high COL area (in the northeast, but not NY).

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Smartsheet in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Recruiter screen, hiring manager, 3 30 minute team interviews. I didn't get past this point. The process was so seamless and the team voiced how they enjoyed talking and gave me tips for the next round. I was very comfortable and was shocked when the recruiter ghosted until I followed up, saying they had offered the job to someone further in the process. Wish they would complete the active interviews before making decisions.
