I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arrow Electronics (Boston, MA)
Interview
Hiring manager called me for the first round and asked me questions from my resume and asked for my availability for an onsite.
Onsite: Had interview with 7 interviewers mostly FAEs and sales managers. They were very warm and nice although the hiring manager messed up the schedule of the interview.
Surprising i had 2 more phone interviews with 2 FAEs that weren’t present when i was interviewed onsite.
Overall the interview was not properly organized by the hiring manager and it looked like they were hurrying up!
It was clear that they already have a candidate in mind and the other interviews were just to show the number of candidates interviewed.
