I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2024
Interview
Quick. Standard. Lots of questions. Mock sales call. And I have to add more words. It was 3 rounds. One with recruiter. Second with manager (not hiring manager) third was panel and mock interview. All were 30 mins to an hour.
Other Sales Development Representative (SDR) interview reviews for LinkedIn
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.
