I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NetSuite
Interview
Had a 20-30 minute conversation with recruiter. She was unusually harsh on my background/experience to the point where I wondered why they had reached out to me at all. When I let her know that I was actually just hoping to learn more about NetSuite and how I could be successful there, she transitioned into full sales-pitch mode, throwing out all kinds of random sales growth numbers. It was an odd conversation that left me disinterested - I declined next steps almost immediately.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
So, your current company put all this time and money into you, and now you want to leave?
There were four rounds.
1. Recruiter phone screen
2. Hiring manager phone screen
3. Hiring manager interview
4. Sales roleplay interview
Each of the following steps were quite straightforward but the sales roleplay interview was a bit challenging. It was good to meet the team and understand their requirements for this role.

Question 1
How would you go about building a territory plan and finding the right accounts to prospect into?
Internal BDR promotion. You need to have data to point to and stories to tell. Difficult to make it to promotion, but most get promoted by the end. Find a manager with a management style you like and try to get on their team
Relaxed interview process that was just as much about NetSuite as it was about you. Very prompt on follow up and clear on next steps. Also very transparent about the entire process.
