I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Systems Alliance in June 2021
Interview
Very straight forward interview process. Initial phone screen was with an outside recruiter, then internal people including the hiring manager, current team members and senior staff. SAI seems like a great workplace and management was really making sure both the candidate and company were a good fit for each other, not just for filling a job posting.

Interview
The in-person interview stretched across a few hours where I met with several colleagues and leadership (VP level) members. The questions were targeted to focus on my competencies but also allowed for hypothetical discussions about how I might respond to a particular client situation or project. But equally important was the team's interest in my perspectives on several industry-related topics. Overall, I felt about as relaxed as one could feel at a detailed interview. But I also came away with a sense of respect for the SAI folks who appeared to be open other perspectives and willing to share their knowledge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Waffles or Pancakes?
(They seriously asked this question. Maybe it's rooted in personality, or maybe they just wanted to show they could be playful and human).

Interview
Challenging but worthwhile.
After applying on the website, I got an email from the CEO with questions and I had to choose a certain number to answer. Then, I had to leave a sample sales voicemail on the CEO's phone (I'd venture to say that not all positions would have to do this, but I applied for sales development). After that, I had in-person, 1v1 interviews with 5 people. I could tell were genuinely trying to get to know me to determine if it was a good fit, as opposed to just what my skills were. Clearly, with testing through the email questions, the VM, and the in-person interview, they are diligent about the type of people they hire to make sure the culture stays amazing.
