Question 1
Convince the interviewer to install a setup in their office
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Freshworks
Interview
Consisted of 3 rounds but the questions were a bit generic...it felt like they didn't know what they were looking for.
Two flags I picked up on:
1) the recruiter was very cagey about sharing anything about salary bands and really insisted that I share first, which is a huge red flag especially when working in the UK.
2) at the end of the interview with the hiring manager they indicated that I should continue through the process and meet other people in the team. Fast forward 3-4 weeks later and no word despite a few follow-ups. Ultimately they went with another candidate, which happens, but to say 'yes let's move you forward' and then ghost for weeks is yet another red flag.

Question 1
How many accounts and how much revenue have you managed.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Freshworks (London, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
There were four to five conversations spanning two weeks' time. It was well structured, so kudos to the in-house recruiting team. Each interviewer represented a different department and had very candid conversations. Team culture is very important to Freshworks. A very encouraging experience.
