2 rounds for the screening. One for the leadership which is to ask about people management, project scope, and motivation, another coding session to work on backend coding question. The interviewers will keep pushing you to all the details in both rounds.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in May 2025
Interview
I had been in the interview process for several different roles with LinkedIn, some that I had applied for directly and others I was sourced for by a member of the LinkedIn recruiting team. To start, each person I spoke with at the company was so friendly and knowledgable - it's very clear that they take thorough care in hiring the right people. That said, be prepared for a robust and holistic interviewing experience. My interview(s) consisted of the typical recruiter phone screen and first round with the hiring manager in which job-specific, behavioral interview questions were asked as relevant to my experience. For the role I ended up continuing on for and accepting, I also had a second round consisting of a case study presentation to the hiring manager and a couple cross-functional stakeholders. The final round was with the Senior Director of the department and felt a bit more unstructured and conversational with questions centered around my strengths, interests, and long-term career goals - while they were more simple questions, I'd say they were still very strategic. By final rounds, I also had competing offers on the table from other companies, so I had one final, very informal call with the hiring manager so both of us could ask any unanswered questions that would help both of us make an informed hiring decision. All throughout the process, my recruiters were fantastic. Though, the one that was assigned to the role I accepted was exceptionally great - she was really open and transparent, and moved the process quickly to remain strategic and competitive against other opportunities.

Question 1
I would expect and be prepared to create and present a case study. It sounds like this may not be applicable to all departments, and for some it is a newer portion of the interview process. I don't think anyone likes doing these, especially if you are currently in a full-time job, but I will say that LinkedIn's case study prompt was much more applicable to the work and seems designed to set you up for success should you get an offer than case studies I've had to do with other companies.
