Phone Screen: The recruitment team could not have been nicer and were always quick to respond to my emails.
Interview: Be prepared to talk about Twitter and the industry on a whole. The majority of the questions revolved around the social media industry, and little to do with my resume. Some questions were not about the actual position, but rather to see if you can think on your feet.

Question 1
If given a list of leads break down how you would prioritize in five ways.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at X (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2014
Interview
Applied for the role via their website and heard back the following week, looking to schedule a phone screen with the recruiter About 30mins long, general questions on why twitter why looking to move, basic product questions and walk through experience. A couple of days later I had a phone interview with a Sales manager.Again 30 mins long, similar to questions from recruiter but more detailed questions on my role and specific sales tasks and skills. Also more details product questions around products and pricing and how it the target etc. I received an email from the recruiter to say I was successful and they wanted to invite me onsite for a face to face interview. Unfortunately contact from there was very intermittent. Even though I followed up a few times with the reciter in between obviously eager to confirm a date for the onsite, it was to be 2 months before I had the onsite. Although the recruiter was very pleasant, I found the process quite negative whereby I would not receive a reply when enquiring re a date or getting general responses. When the time eventually came for the onsite, they emailed me on Wednesday expecting me to be available for an onsite interview on Friday morning. This was not suitable for me at time unfortunately. The interview was eventually confirmed for 2 weeks later.
On the day I had 4 interviews back to back, each about 40mins. 3 were with Sales managers and one with the head of sales. Usual interview questions on tell me about you, why Twitter, what is your understanding of the role, experience where relevant, what skills can you bring.

Question 1
One interview was completely scenario based where he started with an imaginary company and asked you how you would use twitter products to sell it, how would you target, what if wasn't working, what way would you change your approach, what if it worked well, how would you determine what your twitter advertising budget would be for that year etc.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at X (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
I was referred by an employee, and got contacted by the recruiter within a few days. Very disappointed with the quality of the initial conversations with the recruiter. Sounded like he was reading out of a script! I had about 5 interviews, and after each one I got great feedback from the recruiter. However, the feedback was pretty much the same, literally in the same words - again, like a script! Once of the conversations after the last interview I as told they would "get the processes started to make me an offer".
After a week or 2 of not hearing anything I got a call from the recruiter asking me about salary expectations. This had already been covered off in the first conversation, but when I gave them my expectations he said it was far too high (they were offering me less than my salary then) and I was told my current salary was on the top end of the AM bracket so they may not be able to go any higher, but would run it past the hiring manager anyways.
A couple of weeks, and a lot of chasing up later, I got a call from the recruiter again, telling me I had not got the job because they had found "other candidates with campaign management experience" which I didn't have (even though I did have about 4 years of it) and so they were going to offer the job to another candidate. All very hazy and unclear and a very frustrating experience overall!

Question 1
Nothing super challenging, mostly about my views of the business and how to service clients
