      Account Executive Interview

      Mar 22, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Verizon in Mar 2012

      Interview

      Initial phone interview with recruiter. Typical situational questions, review of resume & previous experience. I was transparent when discussing with the recruiter what I could bring to the table and what I was looking for. I'm not really sure why she scheduled me for the on site interview as this is clearly not what I was looking for. Scheduled on site interview with Manager 1 week later. Held in conference 1:1. Review of resume & experience. The manager spent the majority of the time discussing the job, requirements and day to day functions. Was told that Account Executives aren't told what their revenue goals are. They are simply told you need to sell 8 ABC products and 2 XYZ products to hit budget. (This is bizarre!) Told that all sales people plan their appointments and they all "go out" to the field together, go to appointments and meet up again an hour or so later. This is micro management to the 10th degree. There seems to be tremendous opportunity for growth in terms of verticals but salespeople don't seem to have the flexibility or freedom to develop business. Day to day schedules are tight and inflexible as described above. Was told Friday is typically paperwork day so bulk of sales is Monday-Thursday. Was told cold calling was #1 method of getting appointments, blocks of time are scheduled for this weekly. Most seasoned salespeople have a book of clients from which to draw from. Warm/Hot leads where the relationships are already established with key decision makers! Why would I spend time cold calling when I have customers ready to sign and move forward based on previous relationship? This sounds like a telemarketer type sales structure with a manager that hovers over staff. Although compensation sounds slightly better than industry average, I can't imagine why a seasoned professional would want to be boxed in to this type of environment. I told the manager that I appreciated her time but that this was not going to be a good fit for me.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Verizon

      Interview

      Recruiter will contact you for a thorough interview right away if you have the necessary skills and background. From there a hiring manager will set up multiple interviews with the team to see if you are a fit. Not sure why this process can be delayed up to 3 months or longer but they seem to like having back up candidates hanging on. Definitely not worth your time and I found the process to be discourteous and phony.

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (London, England) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      Pretty Stand interview. Super informative interview about the role and expectations, no smoke and mirrors. Some interesting interview questions which are more personality focused and reflective than performance focused. I had the standard what are your strengths and weakness, but also interesting questions about what do I want people to remember about me
