I went through five distinct interviews (which I believe is the entire process) for the Sales Development Representative at Qualtrics in September 2020. Having gone through multiple interviews and offers with other organizations previously, my excitement and hopes to begin my career at Qualtrics was unmatched. Speaking with multiple employees during the interview process gave me insight into how special the team is and why Qualtrics is a desirable place to work. The overall process was very straightforward, streamlined, and challenging. Each individual created a comfortable atmosphere that was casual and not intense. Before each meeting, they informed me that they have a structured question list and grading rubric to avoid bias. Most rounds prompted for questions at the end.
Interview 1 - Phone Screening with recruiter (Marisa): Basic 30 minute phone call to discuss your background, current situation, interest with Qualtrics, location preference, and salary expectations. She informed that they are interested in moving forward during that call. We scheduled the next two interviews.
Interview 2 - Zoom interview with SDR Manager (Tyler) and Account Executive (Matt): 45 minute zoom interview primarily with Tyler but Matt offered valuable insight as well. The interview was a "15 question rapid fire style" where there is zero to little time for further elaboration after the answer. Both gentlemen were a pleasure to speak to.
Interview 3 - Zoom interview with Team Lead III, People Leader Ryan: Another 45 minute zoom interview that has a very similar structure to interview #2. Same style but different questions. Ryan's expertise and transparency was extremely appreciated.
We then scheduled the next two interviews.
Interview 4 - Zoom interview with Enterprise Sales Development Rep (Jake): 30 minute zoom interview that was formed around TACOS (their core values). Although Jake did not ask questions directly about TACOS, the behavioral style questions were made to uncover and expose those values in the answer. Jake was a very young and personable individual who served as "boots on the ground" resource to candidates.
Interview 5 - HireVue (one way self-recorded interview): Took me roughly 40 minutes with a variety of questions. Allocated time for the answers spanned from 1 minute to 5 minutes. Prep time before the answer spanned from 30 seconds to unlimited.
After my video submission, it took 8 business days to receive the call that I will not be extended an offer.
