I applied online. I interviewed at BlueCat (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2016
Interview
The Hiring Process was a month-long-- it was clear they were looking for a good fit for a new sales team.
Spoke to someone in HR who passed my resume on to the Hiring Manager. I then went on to have several good conversations with members of upper-management on BlueCat's culture, and on what was expected of me in the role. My takeaway was that they look for people who will fit into the culture yet bring something innovative to the table.
I chose BlueCat out of three total offers because of the professionalism and core values displayed throughout the interview process!
Thank you for choosing BlueCat to be your next home!

Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What are some methods you have used to hit your previous quotas?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlueCat (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2016
Interview
The interview process was very extensive, six rounds of interviews with various stakeholders within Sales and HR at BlueCat. It's obvious BlueCat takes the hiring process very seriously (as they should). I had two back to back in person interviews and four phone interviews. Ultimately, I felt every interview was fair, they wouldn't throw any bizarre curve balls at you, but you still need to prepare if you expect to move onto the next round.

Interview
The process took about two weeks after applying online. I was contacted for a phone interview, which took place shortly after. I then had another call with another recruiter at the company, who looked to pass my profile on to the manager of the team. I did not receive a call back, but later chased with an email to be told that I was unsuccessful.
