Powerschool Account Executive interview: five interviews and delayed follow-up

For an entry-level sales role, the process involved many steps, although communication was transparent while it was happening. After a recruiter call, I went through five interviews: an HR interview, a conversation with my direct boss, and three separate interviews with team members.

The questions were typical for the role. They covered my background and how I would approach client, sales, and role-specific problems. In the room, the experience felt straightforward.

What threw me was the aftermath. I was ghosted for several weeks after the interviews, then learned that someone with years of experience got the job. That did not feel great, especially after the earlier clarity.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: no offer.
