      SMB Account Executive Interview

      Dec 14, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Box (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2022

      Interview

      Terrible. If you want to spend 30+ hrs prepping for the final sales presentation, write 10+ thank you emails, ask a million questions, feel like you're getting along well with everyone on the team in your 1:1's... and still get a recruiter email saying, "we have decided we will not be moving forward with your candidacy at this time"... apply, by all means. Box, Why do you make a person have to jump through so many hoops? If they display this level of effort to show you that they want to work for your company, take a moment and seriously think about that candidate. And I did this process twice, for two different sales roles! It's a joke. It was all out of my control to begin with. Waste of time.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Box

      Interview

      Interview process was smooth and professional. Recruiter was communicative and a pleasure to work with. The people interviewing you are the people you are going to work with, which is a green flag. Process consisted of three stages: Stage 1: - Phone screening with recruiter Stage 2: - 1:1 virtual interview with a manager (x2) Stage 3: - 1:1 virtual interview with a manager - 1:1 virtual interview with a current AE - 1 hour in-person presentation to panel Presentation prep was definitely challenging and time-consuming, but overall the interview process was clear in terms of what was expected. You can tell that the people are competent and know what they're doing!

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Box in Apr 2023

      Interview

      This is disappointing as I really wanted the chance to work here. I interviewed for the same role twice in 2021 and 2023. Went through the same 4 round interview the last round being 3 hours with a presentation. I was told the feedback back in 2021 was not having SAAS experience and then when I came back in 2023 to interview I warned them of my situation that I still didn't have SAAS experience. They said it wasn't an issue and I went through the long process again to only find out I didn't get the role because I didn't have SAAS experience.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Box

      Interview

      The process starts with a meeting with the recruiter, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager. Then there's a role-play (30 min mock discovery call) and a final panel interview (1 hour Territory Planning and Analysis + Deal Review). I was very impressed with the entire recruitment process. From the initial application to the panel interviews, every step of the way was very interesting yet challenging. The recruiter, hiring manager and Account Executives at Box were not only responsive and communicative throughout the process, but they also took the time to get to know me as a candidate and understand my career goals. They provided valuable insights into the role and the company culture, and made sure that I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. Shoutout to Sophie Raymond from the EMEA team for the guidance and support throughout ! Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better recruitment experience. Box truly values their candidates, and I highly recommend it :)
