I applied online. I interviewed at Tipalti (Redwood City, CA) in May 2017
Interview
Two Part interview process, first on the phone with the sales manager asking general getting to know you questions. Second interview consisted of a three hour interview, first with the same sales manager, then an account executive, an SDR, and then I was asked to give a presentation.
I was contacted by a recruiter, he has no idea what the hiring managers were looking for and gave poor advise. Terrible experience! They had be do an exercise before even having a screening interview. Waste of time.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tipalti (San Mateo, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Very basic initial phone screening followed by on-site interview where a mock presentation is required. Also met with two different SDRs and hiring manager. Fairly typical for an SDR interview process.
