The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
It started out as a standard hiring process, until I had a sales role play call. I was explained the next step is a panel interview, but nobody ever got back to me. I have sent a couple of emails to a recruiter who told me they will speak with hiring manager, but still nothing. It sad as we take days off for these long interviews, only to be ghosted. I would appreciate a generic rejection email, but ghosting a candidate after few rounds of intensive interviews is just unacceptable.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Mar 2022
Interview
I interviewed with them via a referral. When speaking to the team (recruiter, manager, manager adjacent) they seemed pleasant. However, the process was dragged out for 5 months while recruiters went ghost in the interim. Very slow to respond and give feedback. Received great feedback and was told multiple roles were opened. After the final interview (which required time and research) was told they decided to reduce headcount by the recruiter 2 weeks after they said they would notify me. However, that was a lie which is not appreciated and quite sad that they feel the need to be untruthful. Who knows what the real reason is. What the recruiter and team hadn’t realized was that the hiring manager previously added me on LinkedIn during the long process and recently posted that he was still hiring for multiple roles even as she sent the email. At the eod, I pursued another opportunity and I’m glad I’m hindsight. A company that is not respectful of peoples time with the long process and also feels the need to lie isn’t a company I want to be apart of.

Very straightforward and they asked only relevant questions so it did not feel like a waste of time. You will also be notified whether you get the job or not which is great.
