Typical AE sales interview with the hiring manager, everything went well however I found their HR person very icy and condescending. She was young and obviously just a few years out of school. Her first question was; you know we all work very hard and long hours are you ok with that. And then went into how they work typically 9-7pm. She made it seem like that was unusual, I've always worked 45-50 hours its not abnormal. I had a great experience with the hiring manager who said he wanted to take me to the next step and have me do the product exercise however after speaking with the HR girl somehow I didn't move forward. The worst was when I asked for feedback from the hiring manager he passed me off to the HR girl which is very unprofessional as her answer was very standard and had nothing to do with me. I got hired by one of their competitors and so happy because in a year when they come begging me to join them I'm going to laugh in their face!

It was pretty smooth initially, however the company went silent after 2 rounds. The recruiter tried to reach out after about 1 week, however he didn't follow through the proposed timing. There was no news nor communication from them afterwards.

Singlehandedly the worst interview experience of my career.
I was recruited via linkedin and had an overall okay experience with the first several rounds of 1:1 calls (recruiter, manager, director, C suite exec etc). They weren't really good with respecting my time (many calls were postponed, one call was taken from an interviewers car as they were driving etc). For the most part they were largely kind and excited for me to interview and indicated they loved all my responses and thought strongly about my sales acumen demonstrated during the various zoom calls.
Then came the final round. They had me create a mock-demo made completely from scratch with only a very sparse instruction page to go with. This is also one of the companies that thinks it's a good idea for interviewees to sell WALKME and not create a solid presentation based on something you would be otherwise knowledgeable on. I have done these kind of demos before and have done well, so perhaps this would be a challenging but otherwise an okay experience. I was wrong.
The aforementioned instruction page had conflicting advice as to what to prepare for. They wanted you to create solid slides demonstrating a foundational understanding of the various WalkMe platforms to be demonstrated on both a "discovery" call (AFTER an SDR did previous discovery) but also with a component of "selling" the idea of the entire catalogue. They didn't provide any additional instruction versus "just check out our website, or these attached links" (also just from the website). It also said to answer xyz within the presentations (within a short amount of time) but at the same time do not rely on your slides at all and have the "sale" come from you. Again, having zero experience within this side of tech nor understanding WalkMe's intricate video channel/marketing solutions proved to make an otherwise easy task "built to fail." I was able to ask my interviewer questions via email and phone prior to my presentation but I only received vague feedback in return like "dont worry about it you'll do great but also you're not looking at the right pages for your answers." Okay... made it this far whats the worst that can happen?
On my presentation date only 2 out of 3 scheduled interviewers joined. Both of the ones who participated in the mock-roll play purposely made it a point to question every point of my slide deck in a way that seemed out of character and rather nasty for simple role play. One interviewer had their eyes off the screen the entire time as if they were bored.
At the end they asked me to give myself a 1-10 score based on how I felt, stating DO NOT GIVE A 7. Sensing that they were unhappy with the content of the presentation (even after reaching out to them for feedback at various points before my interview) I gave myself a 6, but had also reiterated how long I worked on the task, and how I even reached out to friends within the same field for feedback as to what to provide in my demo (the friends making it seem that no one in their right mind would have this type of a scenario during a 'discovery' call.) Their response was I received a 5 and if I truly worked as hard as I stated that I should have done better.
Reading other similar reviews within the same vein it seems I have dodged a bullet. Singlehandedly the most unprofessional interview experience I have had so far.

Total lack of organization! THE worst "hiring" experience I was ever involved in!
firstly they conducted the screening interview which apparently was for 3 different jobs. just to see if "I fit for something". - after a week I got a generic rejection email.
A month later they called to offer me a "Business Development Rep." position.
The recruiter was on speaker and it was impossible to understand what she was saying, so I asked her if she could change it so I can hear her better, she just said "I'll call you back!" and hung up on me!
Needless to say, she didn't call me back, nor sent an email or anything.
For a company that deals with UX, and strives for better experiences, that's a disgrace.
