Interview
I filled out an application about hearing about the company and I was super excited to apply. I loved the description of the job, the location, everything. I applied to the company in October 2009 and did not receive an e-mail to interview for the company until March. In March I got an e-mail from Ashley and we set up an phone interview. I was so excited. I had everythng planned, researched, I knew the ins and outs of the organization, and was set to answer any question that came my way. When Ashley called she literally told me about the position in about 30 seconds, asked me if it sounded like something I would like, I said "Yes!" And she asked me How i liked to spend my spare time and what experience I had and said "thanks bye" The whole phone interview lasted 3:35 seconds according to my phone. She sounded so rushed. She was speed talking. I answered every question with enthusiam and answered it to what should fit their needs for this position (because after all the research I did I knew I was a perfect match, hence the applying) and never heard from them again. I was so disappointed. She was rude and talked with such speed and disgust to be doing her job it was awful.

Interview
Brief screening with one of the recruiters. Afterwards if they like you they'll ask you to come in and meet with the sales managers. You meet with each one and after doing so the training manager. Pretty straight forward process where they ask you goals and some simple motivation questions a swell.

Interview
Started with a phone screening which lasted a standard 15-20 minutes. Standard question about why Yext, why sales, personal qualities that would help, and name a time when you have had to sell something. Then they brought me into the office for a full interview. First thing to do was read a script into the phone talking about the product and giving a pitch. I then met with three different managers of the sales teams for interviews lasting around 20 minutes each. It was a mix of fit questions regarding personal attributes and qualities, some more specific sales questions, and explaining the role, the company, department, and pay structure.

Interview
I applied online and the recruiter got back to me relatively quickly to schedule a phone call. The phone call went well (we discussed which start day would be better for me) and scheduled an in person interview with management. Throughout the process I was told they liked my enthusiasm, my work experience and that I was asking great questions. Needless to say I was not offered the position. I would like for the recruiter to reach out to those who didn't get the position instead of the generic email they send out. I'm not asking for a detailed written email but I would have appreciated some feedback.
