I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Qualtrics in Feb 2022
Interview
Extremely organized. Wonderful recruiters who were transparent about what to expect. The interview style was a bit odd - they rapid fire you many behavioral, hypothetical, and curveball questions. Since they're taking notes the whole time and grading you on a rubric, it's less conversational. But, after the rapid fire questions, the interviewers were very friendly and interested in talking with candidates.

Question 1
Sell me the pros and cons of both renting an apartment and owning a home.
What are Qualtrics services and what benefits do they offer to other businesses?
Tell me about a time you competed against and were judged against others?
Why sales?
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
Pretty standard and straightforward. Had a screening call with a recruiter, then 3 interviews with SDR managers after that. Most questions were behavioural and they basically want to know you committed you'd be to the job given that there's a lot of rejection that happens in sales. Super straightforward about the path to promotion which was nice, and incredible benefits. Starting salary is somewhat low for an SDR position so that's something to consider vs. other tech companies.

Question 1
How do you handle conflict?
What sales experience do you have?
Tell us about a time you received feedback and how did you act on it?
How would you approach an objection and open it up to a conversation?
Only made it to the phone screening, as soon as I mentioned I was weighing my options the interview went south. Obviously didn’t expect this to make an impact but could tell right away
It has been very great. They are nice about coordinating the interviews and explaining the process. I have had 2 interviews so far. The questions have seemed to be more behavioral.
