I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AvePoint in May 2009
Interview
Spoke with recruiter, spoke with HR and then later on spoke with hiring manager and sales manager.
The interviewing process was very rigid and the manager that I spoke with seemed very uptight with no sense of humor and it was a very big turn off. Later on and even to this day I always see this company posting an add for sales engineers and sales reps, it is literally like every 3 months I am seeing this position online.
All conducted via video conferencing. Met with potential managers and department director. Four separately scheduled rounds, with a final required onsite presentation and panel interview (estimated to be 2-4 hours in full length). Initial rounds were fairly laid back. Turned down final round invitation to pursue other opportunities.
