Entrevista
I applied online and was very pleased by how quickly they moved through the whole process. I had two phone interviews (be high energy, and relentless, thats what they look for) and three in person interviews. I had my first phone interview the day I submitted an application, I had my second interview about 5 days later. I had my first of three interviews on the first day I went into the office. I had the last two of three interviews on the next day where I had to meet with the VP of Sales and the CEO.
The company culture is always about working hard and winning (I think they value it too much). You will be working in a cutthroat high-stress, high-energy environment for about 70 hours a week, plus take home work. You need to be 100% sure you can hang if you want this job.

Working hard here isn't good enough, you need to produce results, how are you going to produce results?

Entrevista
I went through 2 rounds of phone interviews. The first was with a recruiter who responded very quickly after I had applied and was very professional/helpful with tips for the position. The second interviewer wasn't very friendly & had a really uninterested demeanor over the phone. It felt like she had a million other things that she preferred to be doing.
Ultimately, I never heard back from anyone (which I guess fits in with the second interview's result). I found it unprofessional because the second interviewer did specifically mention that someone would at least reach out to confirm what the result was. I worked hard on the interview preparation & truly respected the company, so I just found it in very bad taste to not even provide some closure for a candidate. Not offering a job is fine, but I just think it's a sign of bad character to not even follow up with someone when 1) you said that you would and 2) the candidate really respected the company.

In one sentence, how would you describe the BrightEdge platform?

Entrevista
After applying, a BrightEdge recruiter reached out to me to see if I would be a good fit to recommend to the company. The recruiter then helps you prepare for both your initial phone interview and if all goes well, you must pass an online skills test regarding SEO and organic search. After passing that, they invite you in for an in person interview with a round of managers and VP of sales. You could tell the company really cares about who they hire and are looking for the smartest and most coachable people to join their team. I came into the interview with sales experience but little to no knowledge of SEO.

Tell me about yourself. Why BrightEdge? Why Sales? How would you handle an objection? Describe a time when you were struggling and how you overcame it. A lot of standard interview questions, but also a few challenging ones that really make you think.

initial interview consisted of 3 steps, the first was a phone screen with the recruiter that just asked basic questions like why BE, why sales, etc.... The second was a second more in-depth phone interview with a manager. And third was an in person interview with several employees in different sales roles, such as an Enterprise Business Rep, a Sales Manager, an AE, and VP of Sales. Definitely an eye-opening and insightful interview process - BrightEdge gives you a real account of what to expect in the role, and also what they expect out of someone the the EBR role.
