I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Verkada (San Mateo, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Standard phone screening with a Recruiter, 30 minute interview with a Sales Manager, In person interviews, 30 minutes each with a current AE, Sales Manager, and a Regional Manager.
Personally I received generally positive feedback and felt most of the interviews went very well, however I was told that I'd be a better fit for a lower role in the company, which I was turned down for after 3 separate interviews as well.
The Recruiter you initially meet with is generally very communicative throughout the whole process.
Don't be surprised if you get turned down even if you're currently a successful sales professional. They seem to only want to hire individuals straight out of college with either very little or no prior work experience.
