I'm lucky enough to be in the interview process with several of my top companies. 2 them are younger (Series A or B - yeah I know, I know. I'm vetting the hell out of them though. So much so that I think Braintank and UrAss would be proud).
I'm back-channeling with current AE's to hear about the good, bad, and ugly. Also, trying to do this with ex employees who were on the sales team (I hope all you savages know Linkedin's feature on how to find this).
So my question is for those that have done this during the interview process before. Obviously, I'm trying to take everything with a grain of salt.
But how have you discerned good feedback vs. bad feedback from an ex employee's experience?
(one of my stories thus far: talked to a rep who was at a Series A and they said they were let go due to Covid. That same day, I talked to the longest-tenured rep at the same company and I overtly asked him if reps were let go due to covid - he said no one was, was always other issues. Sketch!)
