I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sentinel (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2016
Interview
The recruiter did a nice job of communicating, after a quick phone screen she set up an interview. The first interview was very fast paced, the sales manager I spoke with hit me with a series of rapid fire questions that took me a little off guard at first, but we covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time so it was effective. I didn't get to ask a lot of questions, but those I did ask were answered candidly. After interviewing with the sales manager I met with a VP and had a more laid back discussion. Total time for the first interview was about 45 minutes. I was invited to a second interview the following week, which was much more conversational and I was able to ask a lot more questions. That meeting was closer to 2 hours. Overall the experience was very positive.

Question 1
They asked several product knowledge questions that I wasn't really expecting. "Tell me about xyz product" or "whats the target market for abc product".
