The interview process consisted of two steps: a phone call with the hiring team and a basic prospecting task + cold call roleplay, which was straightforward and to the point. The initial call was pleasant, and the interviewers were professional and lovely.
However, the in-person interview was an absolute disaster and easily the worst interview experience I’ve had since graduating several years ago. One of the interviewers seemed disinterested yawning throughout the interview. Meanwhile, another interviewer gave off a confrontational vibe, and their responses to my answers felt snide. The body language made the entire experience feel more like an interrogation than an interview. It was uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly baffling. I’m not sure if this was some kind of intimidation tactic they’ve decided to adopt, but it’s an entry-level sales role, not a high-stakes executive position. There are plenty of other opportunities in the market, and after this experience, I’m relieved I won’t be working in such an environment. Sales is already a stressful job—no one should have to deal with this kind of behaviour.
To top it all off, I was told I’d get a response within the week. It’s now been over three weeks, and I haven’t been notified whether I was rejected or not. At this point, I’m assuming I’ve been ghosted, which reflects poorly on their professionalism.
After going through this, I can say the existing poor reviews about being a TDR at this company make complete sense. If this is a preview of what the company culture is like, I feel like I dodged a major bullet. Definitely would not recommend this interview experience or pursuing employment here.
