I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
I submitted my resume to a job board, and was set up with an interview through a recruiter. The phone screen was set up within the first week. After the phone screen, an in-person interview was set up in the SF office for the following week. The in-person interview was 3 rounds. First was Q&A and coding, then test strategy, then a final round of coding and testing. The interviewers were mostly friendly, except for one person who was completely disinterested from the start, as though they had somewhere else to be.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Examine the inbox feature of LinkedIn, read over the given spec, and design a test suite for it.
The interview process at LinkedIn typically begins with the submission of an application and a resume screening. This may be followed by a phone screen and technical and behavioral assessments. Depending on the role, the candidate may then have interviews with the hiring manager, team, or a panel, and may be asked to complete a case study or other skills evaluation. Cultural fit and background checks may also be conducted. Candidates can expect feedback throughout the process, and may have opportunities for negotiation before an offer is made. Once an offer is accepted, the onboarding process begins. Throughout the process, communication with candidates is a priority, as is ensuring a positive candidate experience
