I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Appian
Interview
Seven rounds. As someone who has brought on many team members and managed through change, you never need seven interviews to assess a candidate. Asked for full presentation and preparation for three back-to-back interviews with 18 hours' notice. Was told I was meeting a senior executive for a simple "culture fit" assessment, which turned out to be a game of Stump the Chump. No time to ask questions in many rounds. No meaningful feedback at any time in the process. Was turned down due to not being physically as close to the office as another candidate (despite job listing in the city in which I currently reside)

Question 1
Standard sales spec and team development (i.e. previous quotas, deal sizes, sales cycle, how do you build a team).
Really thorough interview and process. Even in a pandemic, the team was engaging and insightful. Took the time to walk me through the structure and how this position is set up for success.
It was a Very fast. efficient process. HR team well organised, kept me informed frequently. I Would recommend this company. Nothing much to add or to complaint about. Interview with line manager was also very formal and it was an enjoyable experience.
