I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Talkdesk (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
2 phone screens and in person. The phone screens were with one recruiter and one sales manager. They asked typical sales questions that usually are asked in an interview. Why should we hire you? What have you overcome in the past? They also test your character?

Interview
First interview was easy. Standard questions. Next interview was a presentation challenge on how I’d market into an organization. Long story short spent several hours on it just for the manager to tell me it looked like i put no effort into it and belittled everything that I said. Told them it wasn’t a good fit and ended my interview.

Interview
3 step interview with initial screening, manager interview and case study. Questions were fair and case study was interesting. Plenty of time to ask your own questions afterwards. All in all a good experience.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Talkdesk (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2020
Interview
First step was basic screening phone call with the recruiter. Basic questions like background and how did I find out about the company. Then the next interview was with the sales manager. Very basic interview questions but the interviewer did not seem too invested into the conversation so I saw my chances as dead from there.
