I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NetSuite
Interview
3 phone interviews - hr, hiring manager, director. HR was pretty generic and asked qualifying questions to see if I had the capacity/experience for the job. Had a great conversation with the hiring manager, who was impressed with my background. The director didn't go so well. Lot of objections - which I handled well (and on the spot) but never fully connected. Director has final say, of course, and no offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing unexpected. Talked about my background and lots of questions on my entrepreneurial experience.
There were four rounds.
1. Recruiter phone screen
2. Hiring manager phone screen
3. Hiring manager interview
4. Sales roleplay interview
Each of the following steps were quite straightforward but the sales roleplay interview was a bit challenging. It was good to meet the team and understand their requirements for this role.

Question 1
How would you go about building a territory plan and finding the right accounts to prospect into?
Internal BDR promotion. You need to have data to point to and stories to tell. Difficult to make it to promotion, but most get promoted by the end. Find a manager with a management style you like and try to get on their team
Relaxed interview process that was just as much about NetSuite as it was about you. Very prompt on follow up and clear on next steps. Also very transparent about the entire process.
