Interview
I applied online and received a call from a recruiter within a few days. She scheduled another phone interview after my first. I talked to a team leader and after I spoke with her she set up another phone interview with someone else. My recruiter kept the phone interviews going for 2 weeks. I finally offered to drive to Chicago (8 hours away) to meet with representatives. My face to face interview took 2 hours where different employees stopped in to talk with me. It all seemed very unstructured. They told me I would know by Monday. I didn't hear from them for 2 weeks after my visit. I emailed them 3 times and called them twice. By the time they called me back without an offer I had already moved on to another company.
They were very unprofessional throughout the process and very unorganized.
The interview process for an account executive role is rigorous, focusing on your consultative sales approach, ability to navigate complex deal cycles, overcome objections, and demonstrate genuine, results-driven relationship building.

Interview
Phone Call interview with recruiter. She invited me to go for the next steps. I was scheduled for a 1 hour google meet with managers. That interview was canceled two days beforehand by another recruiter that I never even spoke with, she said she canceled all existing interviews due to "hiring pause" and that she will reach out as soon as they can reschedule. I emailed both recruiters after I received that message and no response! Pretty unprofessional, unorganized, and lack of communication. During this same time, I have interviewed with other large companies and the recruiters were better at every single company.

Interview
I was contacted by a really lovely HR representative for an introductory call. I got a really good sense of the company and role just in that first call. I was updated regularly and given lots of opportunities to ask questions and to gain feedback.
