      Senior Sales Engineer Interview

      Oct 3, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Burlingame, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Freshworks (Burlingame, CA) in Sep 2018

      Interview

      Got contacted by the HR recruiter at Freshworks. Went through the phone screening interview then interviewed onsite by the GM and few AEs. Impression: The GM is putting together a very young and aggressive sales team. The product is good but I wonder if they could gain attraction with Enterprise clients. Overall I don't recommend working at Freshworks. After the onsite interviews, I called HR asking for feedback. He basically said "we're busy on-boarding lot of folks ... we'll get back to you".. He never called me back. I also reached out to the GM, as he has the last say, but never heard back from him either.
