      Marketing Director Interview

      28 Nov 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Austin, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forcepoint (Austin, TX) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      At the time, Websense was owned by Vista Equity Partners, which used their “best practices” methodology in their portfolio companies. It was a smooth process under Vista. Phone screen with HR, in-office test (computer administered - personality inventory and general cognitive ability (IQ, but you can’t say that word), and then in-person interviews with 4 people from department. Call back for final interview with CMO. Offer shortly after.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      As Websense, the product was shifting from a fairly basic, easy-to-sell, profitable and popular “shrinkwrapped” software product to a sophisticated security suite. Many of their channel partners did not have the technical / security expertise for the new product, and had to be dropped as resellers of the old product. Some were quite vocal in the press and bad-mouthing the company and the new product. How would I counter the criticism?
