monday.com Sales Development Representative Interview Questions
& Process

Applied online. They first sent an email with an assignment that said it would take 45 minutes. When I clicked the link, it said 65 minutes. It actually took over an hour because it had two timed parts: one 20-minute section and one 45-minute section. The first part involved recording an 'about me' video and a mini sales pitch video. The second part was a written assignment about prospecting and writing cold emails. After I finished the assignment, a recruiter called to say I passed the first step and asked about my salary expectations. Since my expectations were higher than what they wanted to offer, the process ended there. If this 5-minute call had been the first step, I could have saved an hour by not doing an unnecessary assignment because we weren't a good fit.

This place is a total time suck, seriously. If you actually care about your time, don't even bother applying. It's way too much for an ENTRY LEVEL 60K SDR gig with no commission, having to go through 6 rounds and give them 2 references they'll actually call. Plus, at stage 2, you gotta do a take-home assessment. It's this long, 3-page questionnaire with all sorts of sales situations. You'll have to research companies, write emails, and basically answer like a robot. Stage 3 involves this awkward mock call with some random company. Then, for stage 4, you're expected to whip up a fake email right then and there during the interview. Honestly, most of the time, the managers are just scribbling notes, barely looking at you. After every single round, it felt like it would never end, just getting passed to someone else for another interview. It's just not ethical or necessary to make candidates do all this work. They don't give a damn about your effort or the time you took off work. They don't tell you what they're looking for, and you never know your score on their scorecard until you get ghosted. It's super one-sided, and most people don't even make it because they're so picky. You get no feedback, just a generic rejection email. Save yourself the headache, stress, and effort; there are tons of other awesome companies that actually treat people decently.

It started with an HR Phone Call/Screen on a Monday, where we talked about monday.com, the SDR role, my background, and why I wanted to join monday.com. Next, there was a Take-Home Assignment focusing on 'what-if' scenarios an SDR might face and how I'd handle them. Then, I had an Interview with the Director of Business Development. After that, an Interview with the Sales Manager and an SDR. Finally, there was an HR Interview.
