I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters
Interview
Applied online and received phone call for interview. Had initial interview with HR representative with basic "why do you want to work here/tell me about yourself" questions. Next, there's a mock sales call with a current sales rep to test phone/selling skills. Following this, was offered an on-site interview which is a 4 hour process to meet with various sales managers and get an understanding of the job. Sales manager questions were fairly straight-forward, "explain a situation in which you had to work with others on a difficult task/explain how you were a leader when faced with adversity, etc." Received a call the following day with an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Don't remember the most difficult question. Not a terribly difficult interview process, but not a cakewalk either. Understand SPIN selling technique and be able to apply it to prior sales situations.
They outsource initial phone interview to recruitment agency. Very standard question for every single person. Questions like what kind of product they sell? Why do you think you would be a good fit to the position? etc. But they do not provide working visa sponsor to foreigners, which I think is the main reason why I failed it.
Start with a recruiter and then manager by phone. Recruiter asks simple, routine questions to qualify you for the next step. Phone interview by hiring manager was informal and routine. Process seemed to move at an expected speed and a live interview was scheduled. Live interview was cancelled with no explanation. I have heard from others that this is not uncommon for West and that the often restructure mid-stream. No explanation was offered, even when politely requested.
