I was originally reached out to by Trovata's People Ops team on LinkedIn regarding the open position. The interview process was 4 rounds - initial interview with the VP of Sales, mock demo with the VP of Sales and another salesperson on the team, interview with the CEO and then final interview with the CTO/CPO
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trovata in Aug 2022
Interview
It’s quite an intense process. I had four interviews (one with recruiter, VP of Sales, Director of Sales, and the CFO) then had to do a mock demo. Then they decided to pass on me. If I was successful with the mock demo, I would have had to do one last interview with the CEO. I understand being thorough in your search but to have wasted several hours of my life not including the few hours of mock sales interview preparation to not get a job is ridiculous. Cut people loose early. It’s Super unprofessional.
