I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Applied online for a business, non-technical internship; I was contacted by a current member of the BLP for a phone screen. I was then invited for another phone screen, this time with a recruiter. I waited 2 weeks and heard that I was on to the next round, a Video Call with another member of the BLP. After that was another Video Call with a member of the team that selected me. Finally, the 5th and final round was with multiple members of the team that had selected me.
The entire process felt just short of 2 months. While the follow-up was definitely poor at times, something that seems to be a trend, the interviews themselves were an absolute joy. The interviewers treat it as a conversation which really makes it a comfortable setting. The caveat to this is that you don't really know where you stand in their eyes since they seem so pleased by your answers.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jan 2016
Interview
My experience was a phone interview. The interview was conducted in a professional and respectful manner. The recruiter called punctual at the agreed time of the interview. She asked questions about myself and about my professional experience. One question was about why I was looking for a new job. After the interview, I followed up via email. The recruiter was very kind in giving me some advice on my CV (at my own request).
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Applied online, got an email from a recruiter two weeks later to set up a phone screen. Completed first phone screen, then another phone screen. Got radio silence for about 5 weeks after various follow-ups with the recruiter. After five weeks, she called me to set up a Skype interview with someone who worked in the department. Completed the Skype interview, waited another 3 weeks with no responses from follow-up emails. Finally, after a 2 month long process, the recruiter called me telling me I had been rejected. Very horribly noncommunicative and unprofessional process in my experience. If you're going to reject someone, don't string them along for 2 months and never give them updates. I would expect more from a company such as LinkedIn.
