I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Zocdoc (New York, NY) in Jun 2013
Interview
Very relaxed, wish i hadn't worn a suit, some of the mangers wore t-shirts. It's a start-up, i get it, but say so, instead of "business attire"
I had told them I had to drive 3+ hours each time for an interview, instead of having me stay there all day to see each of the managers, they made me come back every time. In total I saw there managers.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zocdoc (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
2 Interviews. 1st was with a sales director via Skype. General questions (what do you know about this, that, etc.). Was told later that a question in that interview decided whether or not people moved on: Do you like to win, or hate to lose? (Hate to lose was the answer they preferred).
2nd interview was in person with a sales manager. More interpersonal. Laid out the job description. To be fair, they didn't try to hide how difficult the position was. However, they were misleading when it came to growth potential, compensation, etc.

Question 1
It was along time ago. I never had a job that was all cold calling, so I'm sure it revolved around that.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zocdoc
Interview
Recruiter called me to go over the position and find out basics of my sales experience.Scheduled a video interview later that week. After missing that appointment, we rescheduled for the week after, which he missed as well. When we connected via Skype, he repeated the company spiel and stumbled around his list of questions. There is one week of training provided. Recruiter strongly suggested I "just visit" NY to get to know the company more. Base salary of 30k+ commission. "Goal" is 50k, but they expect you will be promoted before you ever reach that.
Personally, the Glassdoor reviews and my experience with recruiter were enough to dismiss the company for more appealing entry level sales positions.
