I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Campaign Monitor (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Started with a phone call with the head of recruiting, followed by an in-person meeting with a few of the sales managers, and finally an in-person presentation to various team members. One of the team members was out during the presentation, so there was a final follow up call as well.
Didn't get an offer for the AE role due to previous experience (no SaaS), and lack of ability to crush the discovery questions and tying it back into the presentation/pitch. Had the option of speaking with the BDR manager about a possible inside sales role, but didn't pursue.
Overall, everyone was super professional and nice to meet with. Nothing but good things to say about the team and organization from what I saw and experienced.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Campaign Monitor (Sydney) in Jun 2018
Interview
Straight up call with Hiring Manager. Rescheduled once on the day of meeting in short notice, call was a typical Account Executive interview discussing about present achievements etc, as well as territory and account plans for the role.
Then the fun part comes: the next day I received a copied note (who types in font size 8 anyway?) about not having their compensation plan finalized nor the territory. Great lying skills right?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Campaign Monitor (Sydney) in Aug 2017
Interview
Applied online via LinkedIn in June 2017. Had a brief phone discussion with HR the week after, and the fun part begins.
2nd of August: still reviewing other candidates
10th of August: role being out on hold
15th of August: offered presented to candidate
Thankful I was only feeling the market with no need to switch. It is funny to see HR lying at your own face while everything has been documented in black and white.
