Made it to the 4th round which was a mock discovery call/presentation (toom me 10 hours to prepare for). The 2 directors no showed the interview and I was never given an explanation of what happened. Very poor experience.

Pretty straight forward process. Hiring manager was nice and respectful but thorough with questions. Things took a turn during the case study presentation. From what I gathered, the case study interview was meant to pressure test your response to stress instead of assessing ability. I was cut off repeatedly rather rudely during the presentation multiple times. At one point it was demanded that I explain what features in AlphaSense would the personas utilize “no generic answers allowed.” I was confused because the mock presentation was not about feature utilization but I guess they felt I didn’t understand the product. Given that I do not know the platform, I could only answer using the public information on features and published case studies. Because of the interruptions and time it took answering each question we had to switch to the 2nd half of the interview without me completing the presentation. The mock call went ok but I still couldn’t shake how dismissive and condescending they were. I guess this is their way of measuring grit. The company seems ok but the sales culture seems a bit toxic here. Frequent PIPs, higher potential for micromanagement etc.
