I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deel in Oct 2025
Interview
First 2 interviews were good. Sadly the role play session was highly unprofessional. The 2 SDR managers joined 5 mins late from a noisy beach cafe in Thailand with flickering internet and random shirtless people popping into their frame. Their attitude was rude and dismissive from start, feedback was baseless, and the role play itself was unrealistic with wild expectation. Can't imagine working under them.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
you have 5 years exp, why not AE role? we don't promote SDRs for 18+ months - are you ok with that?
Started off good, but ended up in disaster. Was the most messy interview process, no dates available. Was delayed and then ghosted and didn't even explain why I didn't get the job
The SDR interview process at Deel appeared highly organized at first, but the actual interaction felt biased and inconsistent. I had the impression that appearance and personal perception influenced the interviewer's attitude more than qualifications or experience. Once they seemed uninterested, the discussion shifted toward unnecessary questions with very little real engagement.
A professional interview should make candidates feel evaluated on their skills, not on subjective impressions.
Very lengthy process and took from Jan to Mar. However, I get a response back fast, so that's something I appreciate. I started with a recruiter round -> hiring manager-> Role play+ presentation -> Regional Manager ->Culture Fit
