I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet
Interview
Ummm, pretty lengthy but well worth the challenge. There are a few steps in this one.
First, you have an initial phone screening with the recruiter. Afterwards you do a one-on-one with a member of the team. This lasts about an hour.
Next, if that went well, you are given a deck that contains a client scenario. Your job is to build a presentation that lasts about 30 minutes. Afterward the presentation, you get some rapid-fire questions about the deck from a panel of interviewers.
Once that's done there's another interview with a higher up and then that's that. While this is a long process, it's all very fast. Also, there's a helpful recruiter alongside the whole process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of questions pertaining to the product. Be familiar with the product. I suggest spending the time to watch a seminar.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
I found Smartsheet's interview process to be extremely unprofessional and insulting. After applying for the SC Position on the company website, I received an email from a Smartsheet recruiter wanting to set up a phone screen. I replied the same day letting the recruiter know that I had selected the following Thursday on her online calendar for us to connect. When the day of the interview came around, I received an email from the recruiter, 15 minutes before our scheduled start time, stating that her "laptop shut down" and we would have to reschedule and to let her know my availability for the following week. I provided my availability for the following week within 15 minutes of receiving her email and she just never got back to me. I followed up on Monday, and then again on the following Monday and still nothing. I spent hours prepping, all to never even get the chance to interview. If the position is not hiring anymore or I am no longer being considered, at least have the decency to communicate that.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Bellevue, WA) in Sept 2024
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for a phone screen, and when the time came, she mentioned she had technical difficulties and would need to reschedule. Totally okay!
She then proceeded to ghost me and never work to reschedule, even after I reached out again a week later to confirm that the process would move forward, never an explanation or anything, Felt incredibly disrespectful especially since I was really excited about the opportunity. Never felt treated so poorly by a recruiter during the interview process
Very easy interview, started with a behavioral screening, then a more in-depth discussion, followed by a process presentation. The team was very responsive and I heard back with an offer within a few days.
