Bastian Solutions Sales Engineer interview questions

Four total interactions - process took a little over a month. First contact at university career fair then connected with HR for initial phone screen. Follow up phone interview with sales manager that led to an in person interview on site. Lastly, a final in person interview with the company president sitting in via Skype. While this interview was for an entry level sales engineering position, the company was quite concerned with my technical experience. Interview questions were primarily behavioral and the technical questions were basic, i.e. "describe your experience." Though I did not get the offer, it was an overall positive experience. You will need technical or mechanical experience for this position.

Spent 10 hours meeting with engineering managers and senior leaders in the department that I would be working for. These 10 hours I found out really didn't mean anything besides getting me in front of the CEO. I had a very good relationship with the managers and leaders which led me to the idea of getting an opportunity with the company. In the end, our call got cut in half because he supposedly lost connection of the call. I was told that they would follow up with me to discuss what I need to do since the interview wasn't completed. Tried to contact the company at least once a day until Friday when I got an email response at 4:30 pm that they didn't want to move forward with me. On the phone I was told, "I didn't have the experience to be confident in the role". A very messed up process that the CEO can get an image of me in 15 and those 10 hours of meetings literally meant nothing.
