Interview
Phone screen with Senior Recruiter, 2nd phone screen with hiring manager, invited in to 1st in-person interview with broader team. The Sr. Recruiter was somewhat rude over the phone and unsettlingly cold in person. Actual team was nice. Did not hear back from anyone after in-person interview despite follow up. Unprofessional experience.

Interview
Lengthy and convoluted. Interviewed with everyone in the office. Group interviews are usually unstructured and disorganized. Asked for accurate and truthful reason the former rep left. Was not given reason but found out later he was working for the competition at the same time. His pipeline was all fluff. no real opportunities and most of the prospects gave reasons for not buying was the rep was rude and or non-responsive.
