      Account Executive Interview

      28 Nov 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Waltham, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at PerkinElmer (Waltham, MA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Pretty standard...I was interviewing for a field sales role. I had a pre-screen call with HR that lasted about 30-45 minutes. A 2nd call was with the hiring manager that lasted 45 minutes. He rescheduled last minute for a couple days later, then was late by almost 15 minutes to the actual call...not a good impression. Call went well though. I had 1 other 30-minute call with an inside sales manager, and I then progressed to 30 minutes face-to-face with a lower level HR person, plus, while I was there, a 30-minute call to the VP of HR who was at another location. She sounded like she was reading questions off a script...no personality behind the conversation at all. In fact, it didn't even feel like a conversation. At the same visit, I had a 1hr in-person with the hiring manager, 30 minutes in-person with a marketing director, and was then conference called in with another field sales manager who was on the road. One final 30 minute phone interview with a VP of sales seemed like a formality, and within 10 days I had an offer letter. The entire process was about 5 weeks or so...pretty quick and efficient, other than the hiring manager rescheduling and being late. There was no presentation requirement, no panel/group interview...each call/meeting was 1 on 1. There were no test that I remember, possibly a drug test.
