LinkedIn interview questions

Initial call from a recruiter who reached out to me on LinkedIn before the role was advertised widely. Second call was with the team - the line manager and a peer. Unfortunately, communication issues and a number of red flags during the call meant that I chose to withdraw from the process. For example the peer repeatedly asked me to open software to share work live on the call - I have never been asked this before and explained that I can't share work due to NDA. I offered to share portfolio pieces later but they asked again, unbelievable! Also another serious red flag was asking about high end technical questions regarding LMS admin - to be clear this is not in the job description and it rarely is for an ID. It sounded like they were looking for help with a current issue rather than interviewing me. Both interviewers were disengaged and seemed disinterested during the interview. I think they already chose the candidates they preferred to move on with despite my background - 2yrs on a very similar project and role for a very similar organisation that is larger than LinkedIn. I would advise to apply anyway and see for yourself if you can work with the team members you meet. Perhaps I was just unlucky!

It was amazing. I've always wanted to work at LinkedIn but this process further cemented it. I applied on an off chance and scaled through to the final stage which was the case study. Unfortunately, while it came down to myself and another candidate, I did not get an offer and have been absolutely gutted about it. Perhaps there will be another chance in the future because it has been the absolutely best interviewing process I have ever gone through.
