      Sales Director Interview

      5 Jun 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Descartes Systems

      Interview

      My experience with Descartes was awful. The recruiter was very nice and personable. After countless hours of preparation for my 2nd interview with the hiring manager, I was told in the first 5 minutes that they usually don’t hire people that have “hopped” around and they weren't sure how I got through to the 2nd round, and they did not want to waste my time. I have been in the workforce for 15 years and been with 3 companies, one of which had an RIF and the other went under financially, none of which were my fault or performance related. I would never consider or recommend Descartes in the future. Pay was far below market pay for the position, so maybe it was for the best.
