I have interviewed twice with Anaplan over the past 6 months - both experiences have been poor at best. There was a large lack of professionalism in both situations and it happened to be with the same Arizona based recruiter for both positions.
For the original position, I had just finished my third round of interviews for the position. The director had informed me that the recruiter would reach out to me with next steps later that afternoon. The recruiter ultimately did and informed me that they would like to bring me out for an onsite session. I responded with my availability shortly after receiving her request. However, 2 hours after my response, I received an email from said recruiter that her previous email was not intended for me but rather another candidate. There was never an apology or follow up from this insulting gaff. About 3 weeks later I did receive an automated response saying they were choosing other candidates to pursue.
The 2nd interview I had with Anaplan was much of the same, they had reached out to schedule another round of interviews in the next day or so and asked for my availability to schedule that. After a week, I did not hear back on when that next round would be even after I had reached out a couple of times to follow up.
A little bit of communication and professionalism goes a long way.

Smooth and fair interview process. It was multiple rounds ending with a panel. Overall, it was fair and similar to other presales. roles. Be prepared to handle off the wall questions and objection handling. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I went through a four-stage interview process, concluding with a panel interview. Each stage required approval to progress. The final panel included a presentation and demo based on a use case, a situational discussion, and follow-up questions from the panel.
