Interview process was carried out with two telephonic rounds and three rounds on site. Phone interviews include HR round and then the technical screening round. On site rounds focussed more on my resume and less on the job description. Things were pretty flexible as per my requirements.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the Questions were based on networking and protocols related to routing.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Went through 3 interviews, first had phone interview and then was followed up by meeting with team members. There was no written test. Was very conversational. The interview process is much more difficult now.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I had my first phone interview with them. They seemed like nice poeple. But one of them was hired at linkedin a month before my interview and the other interviewer around 6 month before. I checked their background and they were almost new graduates from BS!! I have MS and couple of years of working experience. They asked me about my project and when I started talking about Weka algorithm and how I used it in my project, they were constantly asking what is WEKA?!! I was surprised that they didn't even know about that. Then they asked two questions. First was too simple, but they were trying to exaggerate it. I solved it with two different approaches. The second one was complicated but the issue was my internet connection got lost at the beginning of that and I couldn't resolve the connection issue so couldn't code it but provided the solution verbally and explained to them that I didn't at all expect internet connection issues. The interviewer said my verbal solution is correct. I was so mad at Comcast at that time, we switched to a faster service and it apparently became worst.
around 2 weeks later I got an Email from recruiter that I wasn't the best match! Seriously, they didn't even give me a second chance even though they knew it wasn't my fault. Anyway, overall being judged by a person who was hired a month ago at Linkedin right after collage, I didn't expect much more than this.

Question 1
1. I don't remember exactly what the question was but the interviewer was looking for a solution in which instead of any extra data structure you were going to utilize the input itself which was an array and modify the input itself to save some space.
