I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Bengaluru) in Jan 2025
Interview
I would like to express my concern regarding the delays experienced in the management of the interview process, particularly within the HR department. The extended timeline for scheduling the interview consumed a significant amount of my time. Following the interview, I was informed that my application remains under review, but I have not received further updates on its status.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025
Interview
I went through a multi-round interview process for a sales role at LinkedIn and made it to the final stage. While the initial stages were professional and engaging, the experience completely soured after the final interview.
Despite following up multiple times over the course of four weeks, I received no response. I was eventually told that the team’s follow-up email may have “gone to spam”—which, frankly, doesn’t feel like an acceptable excuse after such a time-intensive process.
Candidates invest a lot of time and energy into final-stage interviews, and being ghosted left a really disappointing impression. It also weighed on me during a personal trip, which is not the experience any company—especially one that prides itself on professionalism and people-first values—should create.
While I enjoyed getting to know some of the individuals I spoke with, I hope LinkedIn reevaluates how it communicates with candidates, especially at the final stages of the process.
