I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
The process was pretty straightforward. The recruiter was incredibly friendly and thorough. We spent about the first 10-15 minutes outlining my experience and interest in the role and then another 10-15 minutes discussing the role itself. She took her time ensuring she answered all of my questions as well!
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2021
Interview
The initial conversation was with an outsourced recruiter. They knew nothing about the position, read from a script with no breaks or pauses, and rushed through the process. They requested an interview a few days after receiving my application and sent a rejection on Christmas Eve (about a week after they requested an interview). A surprisingly unprofessional experience from a company of that caliber. This was the first opportunity I've had to interview with the company and likely will not waste my time in the future.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Santa Monica, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
I chose not to start the interview gauntlet. This is what I learned:
2 Interviews Parts:
- One Hour Live Coding Technical
• I was disappointed this was the only option. To be a leader you need to accommodate a variety of personalities and types. Having a one size fits all approach is not best. I'd like to see additional options such as timed take home, submit previous project, etc..
- 6 HOUR panel
• This is incredibly long and difficult to carve out time for, especially if you're already in a role and not sure about switching
** Finally, the compensation was low due to geo-based compensation. Since the pandemic we can work remotely from all over, so geo-based is not competitive salary.
