Meraki Account Executive interview questions

Three rounds of interviews, 1st with HR, 2nd with the Directors, and 3rd with the team lead. Before my final interview with Cisco Meraki, I asked the HR person about salary and if there was any negotiation on the base salary as it was a little below my expectations. He did not enjoy this and said to me specifically that I clearly "do not understand the culture and values of Meraki" and gave me a very strong "take it or leave it attitude". He ended the call telling me that he was feeling very frustrated at the questions I was asking him, and I shouldn't be asking about the rate, and grateful that I even made it that far with no prior IT product sales experience. Long story short. I finished the 3rd interview, and after all the times I spent interviewing and spending my time with these guys, I have not received any feedback about the outcome of my application. I don't believe one bad experience with one person represents the whole company, but in my experience with Meraki Cisco I was definitely burned.

I applied through LinkedIn. The process took 2 weeks but I waited for the result for nearly 2 months! Initial call with the recruiter then followed by an offer for 2 days of in-person interviews. Day 1, 2 individual interviews with the Sales Managers, Day 2, individual interview with the Senior Sales Director then followed by a video conference with another Sales Manager. The experience till this stage was pleasant, very nice people and I had the recognition from most of the interviewers as I was told. Then the nightmares began. As I was leaving the Day 2 interview, I was informed that I might need another round of interview with the Sales Director based in Sydney, expecting for further instruction. 2 weeks passed, heard nothing from them and I decided to do a follow up with the recruiter twice but no response. Another week later, I wrote a message to the Sales Manager I had the interview with to check on my application status and he was kind enough to reply to me and wanted to schedule a call for a quick follow up but it was never eventuated. 5 weeks passed, still heard nothing from them and I decided to write them constructive feedback of the hiring process. I then received a call from the recruiter 2 days later and was told they decided to go ahead with one of the internal candidates instead and I was blamed for not being patient and went to follow up with the Sales Manager in regards to my application instead of the recruiter. Clearly, I was not happy with the way they treated a candidate with radio silence and poor communication. Only found out the result by "harassing" them persistently which speaks poorly of Meraki's communication and hiring process. It's such a shame that a good company like Meraki with great products to offer but red-flagged in the way of external candidates with such poor communication and false expectations as to the interview process provided.
