Toast Inc Sales Development Representative interview questions

The interview process for this position was ridiculously extensive. Initial phone screening with a recruiter. Then another phone interview for a mock pitch on one of their products. Then a final in-person interview, two with sales managers and one with a sales associate which was meant to answer any questions I didn't feel comfortable asking the other two interviewers, which gave me the impression that there is an unfair divide between entry-level employees and senior-level managers. I really wasn't asked many questions about my previous professional experiences. It was mostly trick questions that I'm honestly not sure I would classify as behavioral questions. It felt as if I was given passive-aggressive responses to my answers because I didn't answer the way they wanted me to. This company seems to pride themselves on their casual dress code, free snacks, and open office layout rather than the actual work they do. This absolutely does not seem like an inclusive or welcoming environment and it seems like they want a very specific employee. In addition to this, the job posting for this role was reposted eight days ago. It's impossible to find the absolute 'perfect fit' so maybe look in the mirror or take a chance on someone. Sending out a computer-generated rejection email the day before Thanksgiving felt pretty insulting, not because I didn't get the job, but because it was the day before the holiday, the response came from some third-party generator, and I had put in a lot of effort for this extensive interview process. Also sending another email following the rejection email to complete a survey was pretty aggressive and rude. Best of luck to this company.

Very thorough, somewhat repetitive, easy if you really want to be in sales. If you want to be in sales, you'll know how to correctly answer their questions. Started with a quick phone screening, then a 30 minute phone interview, then a 2 hour interview with a few different people. I was told that if you get to the third interview, they're most likely really considering you. Had to give a 1 minute sales pitch as well.
