Same experience as the previous reviews. 2 months and 5+ interviews… each round requiring hours of work of assessments, business cases, technical knowledge testing, presentations etc. For the latter interviews, each time was a panel interview with several people in the room. For a company with about 30 people, this is more than 10% of the total productivity spent on each interview. When you multiply this with the rounds and people, it just doesn't make sense. I have the same feeling that they used the interview process to get free or cheap consulting services as well. I checked their LinkedIn profile/page 3 and 4 weeks after my rejection to see if they actually added anyone. But no new faces. I can't imagine a salesperson without a LinkedIn profile or not updating his/her title. So, make your own judgement. One thing I don't understand is why they would hire a hiring consultant for this if they never intended to actually hire. A scapegoat maybe. I hope the consultant got paid for whatever time and effort he put in.

I recently accepted an offer for the Head of Sales & Business Development role and wanted to share a different perspective for those currently interviewing or considering the company. Yes, the interview process was rigorous with multiple rounds, case studies, and stakeholder interviews, but I experienced it as fair and consistent with what one would expect for a senior leadership role. Every interaction gave me insight into the business, the team’s depth of knowledge, and the cultural priorities. What stood out most was the intentionality: the leadership genuinely wanted to assess long-term fit, alignment with the company vision, and the ability to navigate a complex and evolving industry as we scale. That takes time in my opinion and, frankly, it should. The culture here is refreshingly transparent. People are sharp, mission-aligned, and actively rally around the organization's growth goals. It’s still early days for me, but the team I’ve joined is one I’m proud to build with. I recognize not every journey will feel the same, but I’m grateful for how this one has started.
