Basic phone screening with recruiter. The recruiter wasn't too familiar about what my responsibilities would be and asked that I save my questions for the next round. The turnaround time was quick.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Contacted by recruiter through a resume database. Completed a Hackerrank coding challenge, 30 min phone screen with recruiter, and then 2 one hour technical phone interviews. The interview questions were pretty standard (algorithms/data structures). Would've rated the experience as positive except my recruiter was pretty unresponsive throughout the process (for example, they would ask me for my availabilities and then not reply to me for a week, then schedule my interview for a time that I told them I wasn't available at).
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (London, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
excellent fast 2 weeks. They want to understand your ability to do the job whilst staying basically an honest and respectful person. Drive results, "get things done" (LinkedIn uses another term in this place but Glassdoor won't allow LinkedIn's original verbiage) and make fun doing it, don't take shortcuts compromising own integrity etc. Use some real examples that proof your character in more challenging situations.
