I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Insight in Oct 2025
Interview
Spoke with 2 recruiters, hiring manager and his boss. The recruiter wastes your time then ghosts you. This was a very unprofessional process to say the least. Have the respect to get back to the candidates.
Met with 2 managers in the same call. They asked me about how I handle different situations like technology, rejection, etc. Seemed straightforward. They made it clear the training will last 6 months before I really start to sell to customers.
