      Inside Sales Representative Interview

      Dec 11, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Redgate Software

      Interview

      Hollow. They use a 3rd party recruitment service called phoenix and man it definitely doesn’t play well to people who are more sociable, ya know, like sales people are :) you talk at a screen and there is zero conversation dynamics. Like we’re robots. Also this company is overseas so they have zero context of American culture. I was describing myself and I was like “oh wait, they probably have zero idea what I’m talking about” very impersonal. Tells you a lot about the company

      Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand that interviewing can be a big investment in time and energy, and we’re always open to receiving feedback to improve our candidate experience and ensure we’re providing a positive experience whether you interview directly with our team or with one of our trusted partners. For some entry-level sales roles, for the past 6 years, we have worked with our third-party agency, Phoenix51 (in the UK), to recruit candidates, focusing on core skills and aptitude, rather than purely experience listed on your resume. While this interview process allows us to find a talented and diverse group of candidates, it is competitive and different from our usual interview format. The Phoenix51 team has reviewed nearly 1000 applications for a handful of openings. This is no small task and to ensure that they are able to review every application, they do employ the use of a video recording as an initial step in the interview process prior to speaking directly with a team member. As their team is based in the United Kingdom, where Redgate Software is also headquartered, they have a very thorough understanding and robust context of "American culture". It is true that the solutions we provide are quite technical which could perhaps be intimidating for those that do not have a technical background. However, we do not require the majority of our commercial roles to have prior technical experience. We take pride in providing thorough technical training to all our commercial new starters as well as our ability to equip our employees with the necessary information and skills to not just be confident in their roles but to grow their careers. We appreciate the time and investment all of our candidates make in considering Redgate Software as their next career home, and thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback!

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Redgate Software (Pasadena, CA) in Sep 2023

      Interview

      phone screen followed by an interview they asked me to prepare a presentation to give to the manager and a technical representative. The product is fairly technical so it took a while for me to learn about products and prepare a presentation.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me to make a pitch for the products and why they are better than their competition.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Your feedback is valuable as we continuously strive to enhance our interview process to ensure it aligns seamlessly with the needs and expectations of our candidates. In our sales roles, we typically conduct a series of three/four interviews, which include a brief presentation segment. This allows us to gain deeper insights into your presentation style and its alignment with our products and clientele. Although our portfolio is niche, we believe in evaluating candidates' ability to grasp concepts at a foundational level. This approach not only aids candidates in comprehending our products but also informs our training focus during the onboarding process. Above all, we are committed to fostering a positive experience throughout the assessment of skills, values, and technical proficiency. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us: careers@red-gate.com

      Inside Sales Representative Interview

      Jun 8, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Redgate Software (Austin, TX) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      This was one of my worst interviewing experiences in my life, despite how kind everyone was. First, the employment ad said you don't need to know about the software, they are looking for a culture fit. Do not believe this, that was not true. After two pretty normal screening interviews, the on-site interview required you to understand the software (SQL and DevOps) and they even asked to understand their competitors. And you have to create a presentation on tech you like, so upfront I put hours of work into this role. After a lot of round robin interviews, more than half of the group was cut in a very public way. If they were sensitive, they would have told everyone to go home, and that the top performers would have an additional call later that day. At that point, I had already been on campus for 6 hours. I felt fortunate to have made it past that round... But the way they structured the last group of interviews was such an abuse of our time. I was exhausted by the end, and I'm not surprised I didn't move forward, because I didn't want to be there anymore. It was an 11 HOUR INTERVIEW DAY. With a second round of public cuts. It felt like a game show. If they had sent everyone home after the first part of the day, it would have required an additional 20 minutes of interviewing time afterwards. That could have been done on Zoom. I'm not mad I didn't get an offer, but I was mad that I spent 11 HOURS of my day not getting an offer. Everyone was so nice, so it's hard for me to write this. It does not reflect on their personalities, but I hope they understand that was the least efficient use of all the candidates time. I wouldn't encourage anyone to apply here.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Create (with a team) a new revenue stream for Redgate and tell us how it will be profitable, 30 minutes to create it, 10 minutes to present.
