I applied online. I interviewed at Hightail (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2022
Standard, not lengthy and seemed a bit cursory. The people were warm and open, and it seems like a nice culture. There were 3 meetings and one call to determine interest.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hightail (Campbell, CA) in Jan 2017
Thorough interview process. Started with 30 minute phone calls with recruiting, then the hiring manager. I was then brought onsite a short time later to meet with 6 individuals over a half day. Those I met with were in sales, customer success and customer support and ranged from managers to directors. I was told the CEO regularly meets with candidates, but he was out of office that day. After I accepted, the CEO was part of my onboarding process which was appreciated.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hightail (Campbell, CA) in Dec 2015
Applied on LinkedIn. Took several weeks to schedule a call with the recruiter. Recruiter called 45 minutes late and never called me back or answered the phone. Also never replied to any emails. Extremely unprofessional experience from their recruiting team. I can't recommend anyone apply to such a broken company.
- No questions were asked.

Surprisingly non-technical. Two interviews (over the phone), and no coding questions or assessments. One interviewer for much of the second half of the interview just (very naturally) gushed about how much he loved working there, which was great to hear. They were also very amenable to your preferences, and I got matched up with a really amazing project based on the interests I expressed in the interview.

Great. Everyone was very friendly and helped me through the process. Felt as if they were partnering with me as opposed to interviewing me. Met with many members of the team including the CEO and COO. Everyone was very intelligent.
- Why Sales?

I applied via LinkedIn, and was approached by a recruiter and then scheduled a phone interview through the same recruiter. Next came the Phone Screen, general questions and several technical questions asked. After, another Phone Screen took place, and more technical questions asked. After, an onsite interview consisted of several different engineers you will be working with each asking different questions for 45mins each.
