1. Recruiter call (30 mins or so) - with basic questions about yourself, why MONGODB, what you did at your previous job, what you're looking for now, why tech sales
2. Test (behavioral & a sat portion) - this took over an hour for me. First part was a personality test about you (149 questions). Second part was a math part with fractions, equations, word problems, sat words.
I didn't get past this stage but from what I got from the recruiter was
3. 1 hour panel with two managers
4. 3 role plays
The recruiter gave feedback during the first interview and was very helpful. The email I got after the test was a rejection and he said he couldn't give any feedback though. That was basically a waste of my time.

Question 1
Why MONGODB?
What did you do at your last job?
How did you handle a no?
For being entry level, there’s a lot of steps. I made it through the initial call, then the recruiter call, then the take home assessment, then the cold call role play and interview, then the call with the sales dev leader. I did not make it to the final step (aka the challenge), and am still waiting for feedback on why not, as throughout each call I asked for feedback and got positive responses each time. They talked a lot about skill and will in each call, and it’s a shame that I did not get a chance to do the challenge, as I have the will and am open to be taught the skill. It is what it is with this job market, but good luck out there.
For an entry level sales role, this process is beyond excessive. There is a phone screening, two assessments, a 30 min interview, an email mock and an hour interview, and then another 30 min interview, and then a prep interview, and then a final mock call and technical interview. For an entry level sales role which requires you to cold call and cold email. I can't justify anyone to go through this process that takes hours and then not get an offer. Any other adr/sdr/bdr interview process is no where near this long and drawn out for 0 reason.

Question 1
Explain Mongo's implementation to a client.
How would you sell mongoDB to XYZ client?
How would you describe SQL to someone brand new? And how would you describe NoSQL?
I had an unpleasant experience during the HR round. The interviewer didn’t have her camera on and expected me to keep mine on the entire time. There were loud noises in the background that distracted me. Her tone throughout the interview was giving no energy, honestly seemed as though she had already made up her mind before the interview even began.
