      Account Executive Interview

      Nov 7, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Bruno, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Freshworks (San Bruno, CA) in Sep 2018

      Interview

      Applied with the easy apply tool via LinkedIn. Initially Freshworks was very responsive with the recruiter reaching out in a day or two. From there we spoke on the phone the following business day. The initial phone screen went well with the typical review of past experience and future interests. After the initial call the process was very rushed, and took a hasty turn. The recruiter let me know we would setup a call with the hiring manager in the next day or two; mentioning the team was traveling to India to the HQ in the coming days. The phone interview with the hiring manager was then setup the same day for a couple of hours later. That call was very similar to the initial phone screen, and a little rushed as the manager called 5 minutes late. The next step was meant to be an in person interview, which they were looking to schedule for the next morning. After a couple of days of follow up they let me know they went with a different candidate and were unresponsive about any feedback they had.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Freshworks (Chennai) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of five rounds. They expect candidates to have a thorough understanding of the product along with strong analytical skills. The biggest focus was product knowledge. They wanted to see how well I understood the product and tested my analytical skills through different scenarios.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Freshworks (Paris) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      The recruitment process was good and well-managed, with several stages (Recruitment, Hiring manager, Country leader, SVP of) and ending with a final panel interview following by a great discussion with the HR Business Partner. What stood out most was the strong human approach throughout the process, especially in the final round, where we discussed topics beyond just business. I appreciated the quick and useful feedback after each stage. Expectations were clearly explained from the beginning, and the varied professional backgrounds of the interviewers gave me a clear idea of the role and the company culture. The team interactions and work environment made my experience better. I also contacted several current employees to hear their opinions. They were open, honest, and very helpful. The whole process took around two to three months and was extremely well-organized by the recruitment team. I highly recommend this recruitment experience.
