There is a 3 step process to interviewing at LinkedIn:
- Screening call with recruiter
- Panel interview with hiring managers
- Presentation of a case study
After a positive first-round interview with the recruiter I was scheduled to meet with the hiring team. The call last around 45 minutes and was with two managers. I found the questions they asked straight-forward enough but was put off by the male hiring manager constantly speaking over the female hiring manager. It was evident that he was senior to her, and the behavior came across as disrespectful and tone-deaf. Although the interview went okay, I sensed there wasn't quite a fit with my expertise and the person the team were looking to hire. Ultimately I never received a follow-up from the recruiter or hiring managers which added to the unprofessional experience of the interview process.
Lastly, after doing my own research of the wider CSM team, I was concerned with what was obviously a lack of diversity across the department.
