The interview process took a loooong time! First you need to pass 3 test they send you on email, which is following of math, IQ, and 150 questions of music theory test about audio gears and intruments. After passing that Sweetwater covered my flight, my rental car, hotel (which was a really nice hotel) and my food. my experience in fort wayne was really nice, but the interview in sweetwater campus was soo difficult, you need to take 170 questions of music theory test again and take bunch of other tests as well, then you go to lunch with HR and there your verbal interiew starts but you need to answer so many questions.. overall i got the job but it was unnesseary hard... you also do a role play as well with the HR, you pretend as a sales person and the hr pretends as a buyer so that was a tricky one.

To start when applying for this job right at the beginning of the application it tells you in bold letters, "Sweetwater is a drug free workplace. All candidates must submit to a test for illegal drugs, INCLUDING MARIJUANA, before any job offer will be extended," and this was a concern for me as I am a medical marijuana patient where I live so I asked about that and the interviewer pretty much gaslit me saying that they don't test for marijuana, and I didn't read it right. My next question was about commission and the interviewer started saying that wasn't the case for the Category Advisor position and asking me what interested me in that position, I told the interviewer that I was confused as I thought I had applied for a Sales Engineer position, to which the interviewer proceeds to say that I did in fact apply for sales. Last major red flag for me was the interviewer seemed to want my undying loyalty to this company. It's a job not an entire lifestyle and many employers are making this mistake. You sign my paycheck that is all, we as humans do not owe any company everything we have. Honestly, I feel like they won't even offer me the position at this point, but I'd most likely turn it down if they did anyways. Something doesn't sit right with me about this company, just kind of screams "we want slaves that will devote their entire life to our company."

They mostly just ask about your background and all the other typical interview questions. Some of them make the company seem like a cult mentality though
3 rounds of phone and in person interviews on top of “how did you think you did” style questions after the interview. All in all it wasn’t too bad. The training is 13 weeks of intense “drinking from the fire hose” graduate level gear knowledge

Entrevista
I had a short phone interview asking about my knowledge and experience.
First I got a tour of the campus, and a history of the business and founder. After that, I took a 170 question interview (2 hours). You’re expected to fail this test, so don’t trip if you don’t know a lot of it. Next I ate lunch with a couple of their employees (great cafeteria). After lunch, I had a mock session with possible Sweetwater lead. Some people do this part on the phone before flying out. Next I answered questions that gave them a better idea of who I am as a person. What motivates you to do what you do, what makes you depressed, what could you see causing you to not pass Sweetwater Uni, etc… Lastly I took a drug test (not for THC), & got a job afterwards. It normally takes a day - week for an offer, so don’t trip if it takes a min.
