I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Oct 2014
Interview
I had a phone screen with the hiring manager (I was reached out to by an internal recruiter).
Phone screen was more of an exploratory call - Shared my background in detail / his background in detail / the role in detail.
The on site was a two on one interview. One person was logging my answers into the computer - the other was asking questions and taking notes.
Overall wasn't difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The difficulty was their definition of a campaign. After explaining my campaign background (?) or what I thought was - they explained their definition a little different. Which I did have overlap but could have angled my answer better if I had known.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jul 2014
Interview
Applied through LinkedIn job posting, but didn't hear back initially. A friend who worked there reached out to recruiting a few weeks later, and I heard back immediately after that. The recruiter was extremely courteous and was helpful throughout the process.
I had an initial phone interview with the recruiter, then a week later had a phone interview with the hiring manager. Both were easy and behavioral. My next interview was supposed to be in-person at the office, and I informed the hiring manager that I would be out of town the following week on business for my current job at the moment. She told me they'd be glad to work around my schedule.
I received an e-mail late Friday afternoon that week saying I was expected to do a Skype interview the following Tuesday. Even though I was going to be out of state and really needed to focus on my job during that week, they required that I prepare a presentation for the interview.
I prepared over the weekend, and even during work the following Monday and Tuesday for the presentation/interview. Come time for the interview, the hiring manager called in about 10 minutes late and we had another few minutes of technical issues on their side. Overall, despite my preparations, I didn't feel like I had the proper environment to do well in this interview. The hiring manager also looked extremely bored over the video, and was looking around the room during the entirety of the interview.

Question 1
Provide a strategic research report, focused on the current state of Wyndham Worldwide’s employer brand that the existing Relationship Manager (RM) will leverage to gain relevant and useful insights to help address talent acquisition issues.
It’s Q4, which is our busiest time of year and your to-do list is getting a little unruly. You have been assigned to tackle the following projects for your Relationship Managers. Show us how you’d prioritize them by stack ranking them from 1 (most important) to 5 (least important) and provide some color on how you determined this:
1. Talent Connect is two weeks away: this is our signature customer conference in Las Vegas, and by far our biggest opportunity to spend time with all of our clients in one place. You still have to nail down some logistics/prep work for some meetings with some of our big clients who will be attending.
2. A request for monthly performance metrics from a Recruiting Manager (not a key decision maker at the client) who is curious to know how often his jobs are being viewed on LinkedIn.
3. A list of urgent follow up customer service items from a small client who is very high maintenance.
4. A $500k renewal proposal for a meeting that is in 30 days: client is spending $250K with us right now.
5. A one-off request for some LinkedIn data from a client who needs it for a presentation she’s making to her CEO next week.
