Screening with recruiter. She got back to me about a day or two later. She said the next stept was with the hiring manager. Then the day before that interview they cancelled it and said I would be interviewing with a member of the team instead. The next step after that would be an interview with the hiring manager. I had a case interview with a member of the team which wasn't too difficult. And then I didn't hear back for over a week because it turns out my recruiter had gone on vacation. She had intimated that they would get to me in a timely fashion. That obviously was not the case. In the rejection email the recruiter wrote that the job role was "very popular/ generated a lot of interest." That's not really my problem and I don't see what the job's popularity has to do with anything. They probably should have done a better job of narrowing candidates for the first stage of interviews. Overall, LinkedIn's recruiting process left me with a really negative impression. I think they should take a leaf out of their parent company, Microsoft which has an extremely streamlined process without gaping holes. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is extremely ironic that LinkedIn's recruiting process is so haphazard, since its fundamental purpose it to help people find jobs.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
I had 2 interviews with recruiters, and then 3 rounds of interviews with members of the Business Operations team. Each round was a 45 minute interview over the phone. They asked case questions, questions about LinkedIn products, and about general interest in technology.
Linkedin's HR team is by far one of worst HR teams I have dealt with. They are generally very incompetent at scheduling interviews, emailing candidates back in a reasonable amount of time, and providing any information on the interview process and timeline. As a candidate, I was always kept in the dark about what next steps were. The recruiter would rarely respond to my emails or update me on whether I was moving forward after an interview in a timely fashion-they would just go silent two weeks at a time.
For a company whose core product is to enable people to find jobs, it is ironic that their own recruiting team is so disorganized and unprofessional.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn. First round was the phone screen from the recruiter. Second round was a manager level member of the team.
Final round of interviews were with 4 individuals. Interviews were a combination of behavioral and case. I never felt grilled, and the cases were not difficult (mostly thinking through a real world business problem that the team faced/is facing). As long as you have a firm understanding of the business model, key issues, growth strategies, etc., you should be fine.
