The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Firstly Hr scheduled a telephonic interview but unfortunately interviewer didn’t join, after one week again HR scheduled same interview, Interviewer asked very basic question and went good. But no feedback from HR about interview. Very disappointing
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Worst Experience. Junior S/W engineers are asked to interview for Senior S/W eng. position. The girl who interviewed has less than one year of experience and not from a good school. She was asking to explain each and every line and was asking to make changes the way she wants. Didn't have good understanding of the simple code. This was my first and worst experience with LinkedIn. I never expected such a reputed company to have a poor candidates working there and asked to interview. At last, they said I didn't meet the bar for Senior S/W engg. Funny, I am happy that, I am not selected and don't want to work for such a poor S/W engg.
I will never retry for LinkedIn.
Pretty standard process - recruiter call followed by Phone Screen and On Site interview of around 4-5 rounds. Algorithms, System Design, Technical Communication, Hiring Manager round with a lunch meeting with one of their engineers to learn more about the culture.
