Question 1
Tell me a time when you didn't work well with someone
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.
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
