Huge fan of LinkedIn and former Microsoft employee. Recruiter reached out for initial chat and was very nice. Conversation went well until we got to pay LinkedIn was offering a salary that was literally a 40% drop in my current salary. Was really surprised that the overall comp package was so low. Conversation got a little weird after we went over numbers but ultimately we determined that the range would be too low. It would have been nice if LinkedIn asked for salary info ahead of time to ensure both parties are aligined on a range before spending 30 minutes on a call to only find that the salary would not work
It was fine . Professional and proper. Recommended . Be prepared
I wasn’t sure if I wanted the job but was curious about their organisation . They did as expected in an interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (New York, NY) in May 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn about a role they said I'd be a good fit for. Took 2 follow ups to the recruiter to schedule the initial call. Had a pretty straightforward recruiter screen. I've sent two follow emails to the recruiter and have not heard back. For a professional networking site, this is unprofessional behavior

Question 1
Can you walk me through your experience at a high level?
I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Singapore)
Interview
Last minute cancellation, rescheduling and ghosting afterwards. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Would expect higher standards from the likes of this company but was not the case at all. Appears to have little or no structure or standards.
