4 step process: 1) Technical vetting with a data architect 2) DataStax values discussion 3) Presentation and demo of Astra DB based on a mock business and technical use case 4) Meet with a DataStax leader

Transparency is huge - recruiter was upfront about comp and benefits, I got to meet many of the people I would be working with directly, and I even got to meet someone in a similar role who gave me honest insights to the company & role outside of the formal interviews. I also did a sample demo / sales pitch which was a fun exercise to get my feet wet on the products I'd be working with and selling.
