One phone interview with an amazing recruiter named Sam who was very helpful with getting me prepared for the in person interview that lasted two hours. I interviewed with two different sales managers and shadow a representative on the floor to see daily duties.

PHMG’s location in Chicago, IL truly sucks you in with the fabulous office space and breathtaking views of the city. I first reached reached out to a recruiter interested in the SDR role. The recruiter was fantastic and exceedingly personal and professional. The first step was a phone interview. After she asked a few basic questions to understand my personality she invited me into the office for a round 1 interview. The round one interview went well. I interviewed with a sales exec who originally worked in their London office. I expected the exec to move at a fast pace as it was an interview for a sales job. However, it was unfortunate that the exec cut several of my answers off as I was mid sentence. It was definitely a “I’m looking for a specific type of personality” interview. I was then asked to move to a 2nd round interview. I had the interview that same afternoon as I was from out of town and they did not want me to make the trip out to Chicago again. I truly appreciated how accommodating they were in regard to doing two interviews in one day. The second round interview is where my interested in PHMG stopped. I first shadowed a current SDR to understand and gather first hand experience on the process. The SDR was a nice guy, but unprofessional. It truly seemed as if the sales floor was 98% frat guys and 2% women. I did not like the atmosphere whatsoever. After shadowing the SDR, I met with another sales exec who was honestly rude throughout the interview. Prior to meeting with him, I saw him yelling at another employee through his all glass office. He did a VERY fast run though of the commission structure and did not ask me a single interview question. He told me everyone thought my experience was great but I needed to “go have a think” to see if the role was best for me. He also told me that the position was not as much building a relationship with the customer but more getting them to say yes and “shuffling them along the process.” After meeting with the second sales exec I knew the company was not for me personally. Interested to see the turnover percentage.
