      Associate Account Manager Interview

      May 19, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL) in May 2016

      Interview

      I applied for an entry level position for the training, and to grow my already existing skills. 1.) I had initial interview with a recruiter who was nice, and easy to communicate with. They were knowledgeable and seemed like they genuinely wanted me to move forward. I was asked general screening questions about my past experiences, career outlook, and personal hobbies. 2.) My second interview was with the hiring manager. They were also very easy to talk to, and asked me a lot of the similar questions. After describing myself and my career goals I was invited to attend a meet and greet at a restaurant in downtown Chicago. 3.) When I arrived to the meet and greet there were quite a few people there. It was a mix of Glassdoor employees and candidates. It was an opportunity to get to know the employees, ask questions, and for them to basically interview you throughout the process. It was a very stressful process to walk in there alone and speak with 40+ people that were judging you the entire time. Several other candidates mentioned the same thing. 4.) After clearing the previous 3 interviews, I was invited to give a sales pitch. The sales pitch was given through an online meeting platform, where I led a presentation to three employees who role played as a client company. I gave my best shot, but they hard stop you at about 20 minutes..so if they ask too many questions you have to cut them off to move forward. I did not and had to rush to finish my presentation. They will ask you questions, and you must provide solutions to their business issues, then close on a new contract by up-selling. 5.) One week after the sales pitch I received a phone call from the recruiter stating that they did not want to move forward because I did not have enough sales experience, which really annoyed me considering I applied for the position because I didn't have a lot of experience. I communicated this EVERY interview I had, but they continued to move me forward. The process was very time consuming and stressful, which turned out to be a waste of time. In conclusion: They said my skills in all areas were very strong except for my sales closing skills, which to me sounds like I'm a perfect candidate for the entry-level position. Beware..they will move you forward even if you aren't a good fit.

      Hi There - Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback on your interview experience. We understand that interviewing for Sales at Glassdoor is not the easiest. Not to mention, with our growing presence in Chicago, we’re having to get a bit creative with how we get to know you. Hence the hiring event we hosted. Moments like those can be a little intimidating and we appreciate you making the effort to put yourself out there. In fact, it looks like you moved forward in the process from there; a true compliment to your skills and potential. None the less, we acknowledge that not everyone is a fit for Glassdoor, and that’s okay! We wish you the best of luck moving forward and thank you again for taking the time to interview with us.
