I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Bengaluru) in Oct 2017
Interview
-- 2 Telephonic rounds. First telephonic was kind of profile related discussion with hiring manager. Second telephonic was codepad coding round.
-- Scheduled f2f in the following week. Recruiter told me that there will be total 5 rounds but they did only 3 interviews and rest of the time I was idle waiting for the interviewers. Recruiter did not update on the progress. Full day got wasted.
-- I got the call from recruiter almost after 2 weeks to schedule another telephonic. Finished this telephonic round in the following week.
-- No update/feedback from recruiter for next 3 weeks until I mailed them and asked for it.
Overall, I felt the sense of unprofessionalism.
