The recruiter screening doubles as a first interview. Firstly, after the recruiter emailed the interview invite, I responded with questions about prepping and never received an answer to my questions. Just a calendar invite to the interview. RED FLAG. Secondly, the recruiter was late to the interview and looked like she has just rolled out of bed, which I felt was extremenly unprofessional. Thirdly, the salary offered was ridiculously low for the role. At this company, the CSM is also the Account Manager, which is fine, however the maximum salary offered is only $70K with no commission structure. RED FLAG. That alone gave me pause but I continued forward. Lastly, the recruiter informed me that the role typically worked 60 hours a week and was not eligible for overtime. I am sure she saw my eyes bulge at that information. RED FLAG.
I was confident, excited, passionate about the product and answered all the questions well. I followed up after the interview with a short thank you email and received more silence. That is until I received a very generic & automated "we are moving forward" email with zero feedback.
I have read very many negative reviews about working for this company but because I believe in the product, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I am thankful for not moving on because as they say "rejection is protection."
