I applied online. I interviewed at Insight Global (New York, NY)
Interview
I had a phone interview, that was somewhat of a surprise. I applied on LinkedIn and when I called to make a formal interview I found myself in a full blown phone interview. Very nice and friendly talk, made me feel like everything I said was what they wanted.

Question 1
What are the 3 most important things for you in a work environment
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Insight Global (Raleigh, NC) in Dec 2016
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn for an account manager position. Basic phone interview, then scheduled for an in-person interview in Raleigh office. On the day of the interview, the recruiter called me, literally told me what to say in response to specific questions ("if they ask you what you like to do on the weekend, don't tell them you enjoy watching netflix, be honest, tell them you like to go out and drink with your friends!" -- "if they ask you why you want a sales job, tell them you enjoy building relationships!"). This phone call was the first time she disclosed that it was a cold calling-type sales positions, this was not clear before.
When I went to the Raleigh office, there was no receptionist, just a phone. I rang the phone for my interviewer and waited. Another woman came in, told me that my interviewer was too busy and that she would interview me instead. Didn't ask me any typical interview questions, it was literally small talk for 30 minutes. The only question she asked was why I wanted to sales position -- good thing the recruiter prepped me for that (sarcasm). Other than that, it was really based on the chemistry you had with your interviewer.
Worst interview experience of my life.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Insight Global in Oct 2016
Interview
Got a call back really quick, spent about 15 minutes on the phone for a sort of pre-interview. They seemed super eager on the phone and excited about a face-to-face interview. Interviewed within the week.

Question 1
They spent a lot of time expecting me to ask questions, which makes you feel like you're in a good spot and likely to get a second interview and then they deny you within 24 hours.
