Gainsight interview questions

Loved meeting all the Gainsight folks- super friendly and I had about 5 interviews. Would’ve loved to work here. Lost my opportunity once I had to do the presentation for my 6th interview. Mind you, this a tool I have not worked with and it was a panel presentation. Recruiter called me several weeks later to let me know I didn’t get the job which I had already figured but nice of him anyway. As much as I wanted this job- I had to reflect that my 20 years of experience didn’t hold much value compared to a mock presentation. I have to agree with the others that they should drop that practice. It actually was a complete turnoff. Potential talent will go elsewhere. Luckily I landed a better opportunity. Best of luck to the Gainsight folks.

I have applied for the position through referral and had a great match with the job requirement. I was called for an interview after a month post my application. I had to follow up with the friend who referred me for the position. My friend told that the recruiter “missed” my application in the process so couldn’t set up an interview. First round was a blind interview, meaning, I joined a video call where the interviewer could see me but I can't see the ones on the panel. After that round, I was called for a face 2 face to their Hyderabad office where I was interviewed by a couple of folks who could be my peers if I got through across two rounds back to back. I was told that they will get back to me with an update. The interview went on well which gave me some hope. This happened over a month back and I haven't heard from them yet. I have even dropped a follow-up note but it went into a black hole. I am assuming that I didn’t make it to next round. That’s fine but at least the recruiters should have the basic curtesy to inform me that I didn’t make it to next rounds. The HRs at Gainsight are not so ‘Human’ after all. This also shows the weakness in local Product & HR leadership. I am upset with the interview experience. I felt bad because I got "I don't care anymore because I didn't find you useful for the position" response from the interview team. I wish the folks at Gainsight had more courage or cared more to tell the candidates that they didn’t get selected for next steps in the process. At least it would end things logically. I wouldn’t apply the next time for sure as I don’t want to work for a company that is insensitive and careless/arrogant.
