      Easy interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at WordStream (Boston, MA)

      Interview

      Initial Interview is over the phone to make sure it is a good fit for both parties. (approximately 30 minutes) They presented a case study for interviewee to look over prior to in-person interview. The case study consisted of a hypothetical customer who is interested in increasing their marketing success. Mathematically based critical thinking questions about the case study that the interviewee must complete for in person interview. Interview consisted of meeting with the VP of Sales, Training Manager, and Sr. Team Lead. about one hour in person interview (approximately 20 minutes per party)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why are you a good fit? What makes you stand out from other applicants? What experience / traits do you possess that make you a good fit? How would you approach a situation where a customer feels threatened by the services we offer? What is a typical day like at your current job? Do you have any questions for the employer?
      Answer question

      Application

      The process took 3 days. I interviewed at WordStream

      Interview

      Initially referred by an internal person to the team. Recruiter rescheduled the first call then was 5 minutes late on the phone screen. Generic interview questions were asked regarding my ability to handle Transactional sales cycle. No red flags came up and my Experience matches what they claim to be looking for. Recruiter seemed disengaged and I would have preferred to speak with someone on the Sales team. She claimed to be a part of the customer support recruitment team but helped out with sales sometimes. Just kept telling me how “fun” it is on the sales floor and how high the energy is. Quota was $3500 MRR only so not sure if i was deemed to be too expensive before we even spoke about salary ranges.... very disappointed with the recruiting process and Wordstream should have stronger first points of contact with candidates to maintain their high rating.

      Question 1

      How do you feel about transactional sales?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WordStream (Boston, MA) in June 2014

      Interview

      Very laid back. I met with the VP of sales and then the hiring manager. After that I met with one of the senior reps on the team. The conversations were very relaxed and simple. They ask about your experience, why you're in sales, and what you know about PPC/AdWords. They just want to see that you did your homework and are taking it seriously.

      Question 1

      What do you know about AdWords?
