Pros
The overall experience of the hiring process was streamlined, efficient, and informative. I did not know anyone at Quince prior to applying, so sent my resume and applied via LinkedIn for the position. I also LinkedIn messaged my soon-to-be boss as a touchpoint if they were still hiring for the position (it was posted a few months ago but they were hiring for several roles so it was still active) and she said yes. I heard back from the internal recruiting POC in a few days and we had very quick and easy communication getting my interview scheduled. Overall, I had four interviews before receiving and finalizing my offer. The communication from the recruiter about the role and expectations was very informative and holistic, and scheduling was a breeze. Quince operates on a very quick timeline, and I was prepared to move quickly through the interview process of first connecting with the recruiter, my direct boss, the department head, and then to prepare and present a deck for both. The interview atmosphere was very straightforward - efficient and timely with pertinent questions relating to my expertise and past performance in a similar role. In my first 90 days, I have had a series of goals and individual 1:1 meetings with my manager. The metrics to hit during the 30-60-90 day mark were clear, reasonable, and buttressed with resources and team support to meet them. The team is very welcoming, shares best practices, and supports each other in the universal sales goal instead of individually competing. I am very excited to continue my growth here at Quince!
Cons
My only issue was that a salary range was misrepresented to me and misaligned when it came down to my initial (and final) offer. There was no leeway or room for negotiation and while I was ultimately happy with the offer I got, it did not match what was communicated in my initial interview. I would suggest being very clear on salary, especially in accordance with new CA law and since the salary wasn't posted on the LinkedIn ad, the verbal information was all I had to reference.
