      Inside Sales Representative Interview

      25 Apr 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Clifton Park, NY
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Cengage (Clifton Park, NY)

      Interview

      Initially the interview process took off quickly with several promising conversation full of great feedback. managers were friendly and professional and the clifton park office is also very nice. I was impressed with how quickly the process moved along until after the third round when all of the sudden forward momentum slowed. After being asked to rush my paperwork and everything necessary on my end ( "do this tonight please") I ended up waiting two months for what was promised to be two weeks. My consistent checking in yielded more excuses justifying the dragged on process.
