I applied online. I interviewed at SMC Corporation (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Interview was fairly standard. It was too long, however, considering the job role. I spoke to the recruiter, and two sales managers over the phone and video before the in-person interview. Ended up declining because the pay was very low when compared with the job responsibilities. Truthfully the job is that of a sales engineer as it goes far beyond generating leads and making sales. Yet the salary is below the standard rate for a standard sales role.
