The hiring process at Seqera takes an average of 60 days when considering 4 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Product Marketing Manager had the quickest hiring process (on average 60 days), whereas Product Marketing Manager roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 60 days).
Applied through their website, got contacted by HR about 2 months later. They said they take their time so they find the right candidate. A week later talked to the hiring manager, it went well. They said they will will be in contact within a week or so. A week later I haven't heard back from them. I reached out to HR and they never got back to me
Passed phone screen with HR without a problem. Had a morning interview scheduled virtually with the hiring manager afterwards. On the interview, the first thing the hiring manager shared was that he drank way too much in Barcelona the evening before and was a bit hung over (apparently a company retreat). He continued to talk for the next 15 minutes and left minimal time for me to review my resume or ask questions, before asking to close the meeting.
While speaking to the recruiter, I was told they were looking for a unicorn but didn't have the salary to match.
Also have a lengthy interview process that would self eliminate anyone who was a potential match.
The job title was listed as "Salesforce Administrator" but the recruiter reached out with a "GTM lead" title.
The reasoning - to cast a wider net?!
The salary band was not listed but later shared as $160k - $180k, with the expectation that the new hire would roll out a new salesforce implementation, migration from current CRM, CPQ implementation,
admin work, user training, understanding of marketing tools,
understanding/implementation of Apex ,TBD on other tools, all as an individual contributor.
The pay band is just not competitive enough for top talent.
The interview process with 7 rounds was very telling. It is a red flag and a key indicator that a company does not know what they're looking for, and that's exactly what I told the recruiter.
Max # should be 5 and if the key stakeholders can't assign their calendars to get on a panel interview, then they don't have the skills to collaborate and communicate effectively.
