Interview with direct manager and counterpart. We discussed my career progression and why I would like to work for McAfee. They asked relatively standard sales questions about approach to sales and past success.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McAfee (Sacramento, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
It was one interview since it was more of a small call center scene. Most of the inside sales dept was located in Plano, TX. I met with the team lead. Then with the sales manager. Was offered the job at that point.

Interview
HR Sales Recruiter had an intro level conversation over the phone with me however, weren't very familiar with the details of the position or company. Following our 10min call I was told she'd schedule a meeting with the Hiring Manager (boss to be) however, after 10 business days with no communication I was forced to follow up with the recruiter whom returned my email 24hrs later with an apology, saying she'd take immediate care of it. 5 Business days later with no communication I followed up with the recruiter again and was successful with scheduling the phone interview with the Hiring Manager. This call was on track with expectation, gathering an understanding of the role/company and what the next steps would be. Within 7 days I had a face to face interview with the hiring manager and regional director, receiving an offer letter shortly after.

Question 1
I've personally been in the space for some time so there were no questions that I had trouble with however, no questions were technical. Everything revolved around my approach with a sales cycle, how I felt about calling into new customers, cold calls, calling executives, etc..
