I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Insight Global (Bentonville, AR) in Jul 2021
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. She was really nice and bubbly. Since she was out of my state she scheduled me to interview with two employees at the branch nearest to me.
I know of people who worked at IG and knew of their "work hard, play hard" attitude and how they expect you to bend over backward for them and the first year pretty much sucks.
When I got the interview documents to review I was kind of shocked at the example interview questions...it shows that they want a really specific type of person- charming pretty girls and "bro-esque" guys. They also go on to mention how you won't make commission for at least 10ish months until you are "promoted."
Interview was subpar, I could tell they didn't really care to be talking to me and they obviously didn't prepare because they knew nothing about me. One of the girls was 25 minutes late and left 10 minutes early. The other girl bragged about how she hadn't taken a vacation in 4 years of working there. And just responded "Ok cool" to all of my answers.
Needless to say I wasn't sad when I didn't move on in the interviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Insight Global in Jul 2021
Interview
Applied to Insight Global through LinkedIn. Had an initial phone screen with a recruiter. Had a first-round virtual interview with the sales manager. The second round interview was in person with the same sales manager and a senior account manager. Overall, the recruiter was very kind and helpful throughout the interview process. The two employees I spoke with were also very genuine. BUT at the end of the second round, they said I would hear back from them in a couple of days and it has been two weeks and I've still not heard anything. I have reached out to the recruiter and he has not responded. It's super disrespectful and rude to not follow up with a candidate after getting them excited about the interview process. Do better.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Insight Global in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview was three processes:
1.) Talking with a sales manager, this one was more conversational
2.) Talking with the sales manager and an account manager. This one is where you lead the conversation and you are the one asking questions
3.) Giving a presentation about who you are and why you want to work for insight global
