Hey everyone, an Amazon Amazon recruiter reached out to me awhile back for a strategic sales position. I just got the denial from them one day after the interview. The recruiter gave me quite the list to prepare and my interviewer literally brought up none of it. 3 questions, tell me about what you do, what’s your sales cycle like and how would you explain cloud in the simplest terms. That’s it. I felt like we got along great, so i was surprised at this. Any feedback anyone can provide?

Maybe I’m cynical but it sounds like they let you go at a point where your GM can close those deals whilst not having to pay you all that commission
I wasn't under at all. If anything I made more progress here than most. There have been countless A.E's that go 6+ months without closing a sale. The company was a start up with a very high turnover rate. To put it in perspective the most senior A.E only has an 8 month tenure. The reason it is difficult to close deals here is because the quoting process is so complicated and convoluted that it can take weeks of not longer to get an uncompetitive quote to a customer.
Leadership also offers no support or training on the literally dozens of applications we need yo utilize daily. Which also puts a hindrance on closing a sale since it is more "learn as you go" culture.
This is horrible. I feel like this is a scheme so that they won't pay you any commission. They are purposely giving you more burdens so that you cannot focus on closing a sale.
That sucks. How long have you been in the position?
