Interviewing at Forethought was quick and easy.
The recruiter was helpful in setting expectations so that I could prepare for my interviews.

Review from Sales Dept
I liked how they wanted to give you a fair shot and let you try over if you felt like it was bad take.
Review from Sales Dept
The interview process was rigorous and intense, but everything had a purpose. I was actually hired for a different position than what I had applied for (and didn't know was even an open position) because they tested my skills and discovered a more perfect fit for me in the organization.
Review from Customer Success Dept
It moved fairly quickly for me
Review from Sales Dept
I like that they make it very objective. You're rated on certain things so it takes the emotion out of interviewing. You can't just hire someone because you like them, they have to be a good fit for the role.
Review from Sales Dept
Very quick interview process with interviewers who you could tell spent the time to look at my background.
Purpose of each segment of the interview process was clear
It was very fast and I was notified at every step of the way

How my boss made me feel
Review from Sales Dept
The sales interview process is very strategic the way it is conducted. We are looking for All-Star players and the process is designed to pick those out. So far, it has done a fantastic job and each new hire levels up the team that much more!
Review from Sales Dept
Very thorough but with effort to make it low stress.
Review from Customer Success Dept

Transparency! They explained exactly what the job was and how it would work and that is what it has been like

Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Interviewing here is no joke. Dan has some questions I have never heard of, and I have had friends who I thought were amazing get turned down. That said, they must be doing something right because almost everyone here is very impressive and excellent at their job.
Review from Sales Dept
Quicker Response times are needed for Niche Roles.
Took a very long time to get back to me after the final interview and came in much lower on compensation than expected. Had to haggle to bring things up, which makes you feel less worthy to get your job done.
Review from Sales Dept
We can improve our internal training on best practices for interviewing, so all interviewers are aligned with Forethought's desire to have a positive candidate experience.
Getting on the same page as management if you are conducting interviews.
