I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I have been interviewed by Linkedin before, this time they reached out me again. Still same process, one phone interview, it went well, then on-site, two coding, one tech communication, one system design, one behavior analysis. I didn't get offer, this is OK for me. But the feedback is weird, which is I am strong in system design and tech communication, but weak on algorithm. But thing is what the interviewer asked I've practiced in leetcode, I am pretty sure my solution is correct. I also put the solution in my GitHub repo. I guess for coding part, this company should have a score system instead of someone said it's right or not. Otherwise this is wasting people's time.

Interview
Was greeted by a person who basically walked me around the office during my interview, did a couple of rounds with a group on a whiteboard solving a coding challenge, and one to solve a software architecture challenge. Had lunch onsite. And one round of interview with someone who wasn't technical.
