Took almost 6 months and was very sloppy with many hiccups along the way. The recruiter was from an external company and was very bad at his job. There would be constant periods of no communication going on for weeks at times.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had an unhappy customer. How did you solve it.
Got contacted by the headhunter. Passed the first round. Got to the second which was not with the Sales Manager of the department I was interviewed for. The questions were mainly focused on my current processes and not my sales approach. Never got any further feedback even after contacting both of them directly.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Asana (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2024
Interview
I was initially contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. After a brief and straightforward phone screen, I was invited to a virtual interview with the hiring manager, which went well. From there, I was scheduled for a series of three interviews, all on the same day. The first was a 10–15 minute presentation to a panel using a prepared PowerPoint. The second was a one-on-one interview with a Director. The final conversation was optional—a casual chat with a current employee to get a better sense of the company culture, and it was not part of the formal evaluation process.
