Hands down the worst interview process i've been through. It was extremely unprofessional from the first interaction. The personal that did my initial phone interview was obviously in her car and I could tell that she was not prepared. The second interview was a video interview and was also terrible. The two guys at Act On were extremely unprofessional. I caught them multiple times not paying attention and at one point both them started laughing for no reason. I'm pretty sure they were sending messages to each other during the interview. I was also told that I had "too much energy" and that it came across as fake. The only time they bothered to pay attention was when they asked me what my thoughts were about some of their competitors. Honestly, don't waste your time here! I'm sure HubSpot or other competitors would be happier to have you on their team.
- How have you dealt with disgruntled customers?

Started with HR phone screen. Then went to a interview with a software engineering manager. After that I had a technical interview with the team. The technical questions were more conceptual rather than hands on programming.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in London, England
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Act-On Software (London, England) in May 2021
In a word, comprehensive! Act On like you to chat and meet the whole team, one at a time - Generally 5, 6 or even 7 interviews of about 30 mins. Pretty informal in nature and from my perspective a good opportunity to ask questions, get to know the folks you could be working with (or working for) and a chance to really understand the role, expectations, the company and culture etc. I wasn't successful but there's no sour grapes here, everyone I met was welcoming, open and honest.

Awful and unprofessional! I was 10 min early to my interview and I was at the location the recruiter sent me to. However when I arrived, I was met with a locked door and the lights were off. There was no one around and their door bell was broken. So I tried to contact the recruiter, she did not answer. I knocked on the glass door for 5 minutes and right when I was about to leave, a man came rushing to the door. He introduced himself as Blair and rushed us to the interview room. He asked if I needed anything and began jumping into the interview. It was extremely weird and unexpected. It felt like he was just killing some time because then he got up to get the actual manager who was suppose to interview me in the first place, Brian. A real jerk. He yawned purposely during the interview, fiddled with his pen, looked bored, complained about how he doesn’t like working in Portland since his home is elsewhere. Then he asked me 1 question and yawned as if he was so bored of my answer. He rushed the interview and mentioned he was tired of interviewing so many candidates. I was almost ready to get up and walk out on him but I held my composure. Brian was a waste of time. Don’t Act-On.. do yourselves a favor and Act-Off!!! Don’t apply here unless you like working with jerks and dweebs in a toxic, unorganized, male-dominated environment.
