The interview process started on a positive note with the interviewer asking about my sales experience and approach, which helped set the context for the role. After that, she checked if I was familiar with SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, which are relevant to the position. She then provided an overview of the role, covering expectations, training, and a typical day in the life.
However, when it came to my questions about the team’s performance and growth opportunities, the responses were less clear. I asked about the metrics: how many people on the team meet KPIs, and what the timeline is for potential promotions. Her answers felt long-winded and indirect, leaving me without a clear understanding of whether KPIs are realistically achievable or what progression looks like.
In the end, I was simply looking for transparency on these key areas, but my questions about team performance and internal growth seemed to be avoided. Despite this, she did push to schedule the next interview.
