      Account Executive Interview

      Oct 4, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Demandforce (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      I chose not to go past the phone interview, I felt the earning potentials at my current job were much higher, but this was the process as described to me by the recruiter over the phone: They run one or two calls with an in-house recruiter then invite you in the office to speak with three or so hiring managers. You are then supposed to shadow people around, run a cold call maybe, are given presentation material to do a mock presentation in front of a couple others in a conference room and then if all is well are invited back for an offer. My impression: I asked some questions that the recruiter over the phone either was unwilling or unable to answer, I wanted to know about the commission structure (whether it was caped, a percent of the sale, tiered, ect.), and how it was setup in specifics so I could gauge how much I was going to be able to make at the company should I decide to more seriously consider moving forward in the interview process and the recruiter wouldn't answer. The recruiter did tell me the average OTE of the position, but I find often that number either to be inflated or underestimated which is why I ask specifics. I didn't try to negotiate a higher salary, however the recruiter unbidden read off a script about how they couldn't move on the salary after I asked about what the earnings potential was with their commission structure. The average OTE for this position (thats what "they say" your earning potential is if you perform at the average level of the rest of the sales team) is about $75k per year which is pretty average for an entry level sales gig in San Francisco. The recruiter came off as a little stuck up and seemed inexperienced, she also wasn't really friendly over the phone and if thats the reflection of the attitude of the rest of the company even if the earning potential was much higher (which it might have been but they wouldn't tell me specifics on commissions, caps, and ect.) I probably wouldn't have wanted to work their regardless. Maybe I was asking too much to know how much I could make at their company, and maybe they don't want their competitors to know the structure after a phone call, but it was the first time someone was unwilling to answer those questions for me in an initial interview.

      I interviewed at Demandforce

      Interview

      I recently interviewed for the Account Executive position at Demandforce, and I am compelled to share my extremely disappointing experience. My initial impression was positive after the first round, but my enthusiasm quickly turned into frustration and disbelief during the second round of interviews. The first round of interviews went well, and I was hopeful about the potential opportunity with Demandforce. However, my optimism was shattered during the second round. The interview was scheduled as a video call, and I waited patiently for 20 minutes for the two interviewers to join. To my astonishment, they never showed up. During my wait, I took the initiative to email the recruiter twice to inquire about the delay, but I received no response whatsoever. Feeling left in the dark, I followed up two days later, only to be informed that they had decided not to move forward with my application. This revelation left me baffled and angered, as it became apparent that they had knowingly wasted my time, disregarded the interview appointment, and failed to communicate their decision properly. The lack of professionalism displayed by Demandforce in handling this interview process is truly appalling. It is beyond disrespectful to leave a candidate hanging for 20 minutes without any communication or explanation. Moreover, the fact that they chose not to move forward after subjecting me to such treatment is a clear indication of their disregard for candidates' time and efforts. What is particularly disheartening is the utter lack of common courtesy displayed by the company. Not only did they fail to show up for the scheduled interview, but they also failed to extend the basic courtesy of canceling or notifying me in advance about their decision. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable and speaks volumes about the company's values and culture. I would strongly caution anyone considering applying for a position at Demandforce to seriously reconsider. If this is how they treat potential candidates during the interview process, it raises significant concerns about how they treat their employees and clients. Demandforce's behavior is grossly unprofessional, disrespectful, and indicative of a deeply flawed hiring process. In conclusion, my experience interviewing for the Account Executive role at Demandforce was marked by unprofessionalism, disrespect, and a complete disregard for candidates' time and efforts. I hope that sharing my experience will shed light on the company's concerning practices and encourage them to reflect on the importance of treating all candidates with the respect and professionalism they deserve.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Demandforce (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2023

      Interview

      I experienced complete lack of HR professionalism during the initial interview and promised follow-up. The interviewer mumbled through a script, repeating herself frequently, stumbling over paragraphs while she was reading. She seemed distracted as I asked questions, and kept looking over to a second screen, as if she was checking emails while trying to converse with me. The interviewer opened the conversation by presenting the job as being less than enticing, stating it was $55,000 base and that she often has candidates express interest and then back out once they discover the low salary. I later was able to discuss full OTE and frequency of commission payout (monthly) as the call progressed which I felt made the job more attractive. I was surprised the interviewer didn’t accentuate the positive aspects of the role and benefits of working for DemandForce. Again, it was more scripted. Position was presented as hybrid in office/remote with 7am-7:30am start time. KPI – 4 deals per month 3 month ramp up, 100% outbound. Conversation lasted 30 minutes and interviewer said next steps would be to present to two managers and that she would be in touch by a set date to confirm with me. The interviewer ended the conversation on a very positive note but never followed up as promised. I reached back out five days after the day she set for next steps and received an OOO email that she was traveling for two weeks on vacation. I reached out to the OOO contact and received a response that the sales hiring managers were also out for several weeks and that HR could not confirm if the position was still open. I was told they would be in touch once they had more information. Three weeks later I received a canned rejection email. I guess it was a blessing in disguise as I would not be interested in reapplying and definitely would not recommend to other sales professionals looking for new career opportunities. Hopefully DemandForce treats customers better than their career candidates.
