      Account Executive Interview

      17 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Mar 2019

      Interview

      This was one of the most disappointing interview experiences I have ever had. Throughout my sales career (9 years), I've probably interviewed with 20 different companies, and this was the least professional team I have encountered. For a company that has built a significant chunk of their revenue off of sales and recruiting products, their internal recruiting process is simply abhorrent. I applied to the position through employee referral and proactively reached out to the job poster at LinkedIn. I received a note several days later from a junior recruiting employee at LinkedIn who was 2 months removed from college. This person knew nothing about the role, and simply read a few questions from a script during the phone screen. At the end of the call, he then said my next step would be a call with the original recruiter I had reached out to (I don't understand the need for this extra step). Between the time it took to set up this first call, and the timing to set up a second recruiting call, nearly 2 weeks had past. LinkedIn is clearly missing out on good candidates as this takes far too long. I then received a note from him several days later saying the job spec had changed. Other roles were available that fit my background, and he stated that the applicable recruiters would like to speak to me, but I was never able to get another response from him or the other recruiting team members I was directed to despite this positive feedback about my resume.

      Dublin, Dublin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      The process went very well - I applied through LinkedIn and after 10 min I already received an email to schedule the screening call. I had 3 interviews in total: Screening, hiring manager, and panel (mock call). From the recruiter to the panel, all the people I interviewed with were absolutely amazing! I had such a great experience. If you are have experience in such role, passing the interviews wouldn't be hard, just need to practice properly.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are you most proud if about yourself? Tell me about a time you failed and what did you do? Metrics that you use? A conflict of interests with colleague?
