There were several interviews that include a role-play and detailed questions about high school and college. They were focused on being #1's in everything they do and the only team members they were looking for. The focus on college clubs and the summer before college was a little strange since it's for a mid-level sales role. Overall the company office was nice and the culture seemed energetic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What did you do the summer between high school and college?
What clubs were you involved in during college?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Houzz (Irvine, CA)
Interview
You sit in a room, they call you, you go over a script + sell them on a product. After, they bring you in for questions. I had two separate interviews; the second was only about 10-15 minutes long
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Houzz (Sydney) in Sep 2018
Interview
1. Initial Phone Screening
2. Meeting with a potential future Colleague
3. Interview with Sales Manager
4. Role Play
5. Telephone Call with Senior Management.
Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), I did not get past the initial screening due to the fact that I was not 'bubbly' and despite having relevant experience, it was not enough for them.
