The process with the recruiter went well. The recruiter was kind and professional.
After this, I was set to interview with two different sales managers back to back.
I finished the interview with the first hiring manager. The interview with the first manager was extremely unprofessional.
The manager wasn’t listening to most of what I was saying, didn’t review my resume, and didn’t seem interested in any way. The manager had zero organization and openly kept saying he didn’t have structure for what he wants to talk about in the interview.
I’m in the process with about a dozen SaaS companies right now and I’ve achieved quotas much higher than what they’re asking for. I’ve never had an interview as unprofessional as this one.
My wife was sitting nearby listening to the entire thing and was telling me to not go with a sales org that feels more like a Frat than a professional sales org.
I had to drop before the second manager came on due to a medical emergency and I emailed them to state this. 5 minutes later I’m met with an email saying that the first manager didn’t approve of me because I “didn’t close him”. Which makes zero sense when I was already set to talk to another manager immediately after, and the next manager was the one managing the territory I’d be in.
