      Solutions Engineer Interview

      30 July 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Smarsh (New York, NY) in July 2024

      Interview

      Interviews: Recruiter Interview & 3 additional interviews from the Solutions Engineering Team. One of the oddest interviews I have ever had for a "PRE-Sales" Solution Engineer Position. 1) Minimal to no Technical questions. 2) Most questions were SALES Methodology BASED (MEDDIC/ SCRUM/SPIN). {Which many entry level SE's and some sales people would certainly not be familiar with or asked) 3) Many questions on Discovery-Sales-POC technique - It was obvious from the interview the company is having issues closing POC's and converting to sales. - It was also clear that SALES and SE's are having collaboration issues. - It was clear that the company is bogged down with RFI\RFP's that are written by other companies - hence, they are spending too much time responding and not initiating those. - Unclear if Sales are hitting their targets as the Sales Cycles are extremely long. Got the impression the company is interviewing candidates and feeling out the market only.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: What Sales Methodology are you familiar with? Q: How do you relate and work with difficult sales people? Q: Are you familiar with the SAAS Model? Q: Who have you spoke too so far ?
