Xactly Corp. Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)

Interviewed by an outsourced HR company that really doesn't "get" what you do and asks some really inane questions. I was explaining an example of determining the goals and desired outcomes of a customer marketing event. Me "Well, I start by communicating with the event stakeholders". She asks: "so how did you do that?". ( That was her standard question to everything I said, "so how did you do that?". Me (explaining how I communicated): "I picked up the phone and called the executive in charge of the project. Her: "So, how did you do that?". (What, she needs me to explain how to use a phone?). Maybe she was baiting me -- but I had the distinct feeling that the interviewer didn't really know what the Xactly Marketing Manager was looking and had no idea how to interview for the position. Ah, another reason I am not fond of HR vetting!
