I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zuora
Interview
Had around 4 phone interviews and one round of onsite interviews. The interviews were professional and moved fast. Current employees expressed a detailed knowledge of Zuora's plan for future growth. This is a refreshing view. In the bay area most start-ups seem to be winging-it, or if they do have a plan, they have failed to communicated it to their employees.

Question 1
How did I feel about moving from a large company to a smaller company?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zuora (Remote, OR) in Mar 2015
Interview
Three week process from the initial recruiter screening to the offer stage. A couple of detailed phone interviews (including one with the hiring manager) followed by in in person interview. Finally, a Skype interview with the VP of Global Services. I was very impressed with how fast the process moved and the high touch involvement of senior and executive level team members. I thought it was very efficient and also a two way conversation during the interviews.

Question 1
How do you balance providing excellent quality service to customers with competing resources and limited time to spend on each customer?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zuora in Dec 2013
Interview
The process was comprehensive as I was interviewed by a number of managers across various teams not only to assess skills, experience and capability but also my fit, engagement and energy from a culture perspective. While there were discussions about past work, there were also discussions about what I could bring to Zuora - what you bring to the table (both experience and how you can contribute to the organization) are both important in the hiring decision.

Question 1
The most unexpected question was from the Sales executive who asked how I would handle a customer in a meeting who was being disruptive as, at that point in the interview process, the discussions/questions were related to skills, experience and capability and were not behavioral based.
