Pretty Easy - 3 interviews & a presentation. Typical customer success interview style. Everyone was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Quick follow up as well and ultimately received an offer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Sprout Social in Apr 2021
Interview
Three rounds, pretty standard. The initial call is very stiff, you can tell they are just reading from a script, giving no conversation cues or responses to what you have to say - not the best feeling in the world. The second call with the hiring manager was the easiest, it's more listening to the role to see if you would like it, I think they asked me 3 questions? The last round is a lot, you have to create a 30 min presentation and then an hour of situational and behavioral questions. They want the presentation to be a role playing conversation with the client- they fail to explain that. Then the hour of questions is again very robotic, no one had anything to respond to after I answered they just ticked the box and moved to the next question. No interest in learning more, although they want you to ask them all the questions you can.
