I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jan 2025
Interview
I got referred through a friend and had a first call. Then got ghosted for over a month. After that I got invited to two other rounds and a sales Mock Call. Overall seemed a bit unorganized and chaotic which I wouldn't expect from a company such as LinkedIn.
Questions in the interviews were standard. The mock call was quite challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work in Sales? Tell me a about a time when you had to handle multiple tasks at the same time?
The interview process included an initial recruiter screening, followed by a hiring manager behavioral interview. The final round combined an additional behavioral interview with a SDR manager and a structured roleplay focused on discovery and objection handling.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you didn't work well with someone
The recruiter was nice and gave prep material before every stage of the interview process. I wasn't very investigative on the mock call. you have to keep asking why and getting the pain point of the client
Recruiter was great. Hiring managers were awful. I interviewed for the sdr position in NYC. Stay far away from the managers Patrick Ryan and Ruthie Smorto, complete idiots, possibly the most disrespectful interviewers I ever dealt with.
