One hour phone interview, at first I cannot hear the recruiter clearly and then she called in with another phone number. Thus the whole interview took 40 minutes. The interview began with a self-introduction. a few questions and a coding problem, then some follow up questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Except for 2 interviewers, I enjoyed the whole process. They are looking for the candidate with the right skills and fit.
It's a long process, they do bounce candidates around different teams.
The one guy I was pissed about was who asked me a question and did not bother to listen to my response. He was busy typing in his laptop and said he has a meeting afterwards and was preparing for that. I had to answer the question 3 times to get his attention. Extremely arrogant and it did kill my enthusiasm.
Secondly they also ask puzzles which doesn't correlate with your skills necessary for the job.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
The first phone call talks about the my projects and experience. And it took a few days before I got a technical phone interview scheduled in three week. The technical interview happened on collabedit. It was not very hard. The coding questions were kind of typical. I am still waiting for the next technical interview.
