LinkedIn interview questions

It started with the LinkedIn recruiter contacting me for a leadership position. It was followed by a basic technical questionnaire and then two one-hour phone interviews, including a coding exercise. The next stage was onsite interview that included their standard six modules. The interview experience was very great until then. What followed it completely surprised me and I lost all the respect for the company. I was called in for a second onsite interview with the management which went on for over five hours. I did really well and thought I was in. I was totally surprised when they said they found me too "strong" and hence they wouldn't hire. The very next day, they promoted their internal candidate to the manager position that I was being interviewed for. That employee was one of the folks who had interviewed me! This is totally unethical! It is a complete shame that the company that prides itself in building the solution for job seekers has no respect for human emotions. I wasted my time obsessing over this company and making thorough preparation for the interview. It broke my heart.

I hope my experience helps, I had went through the interviews and I also participated in interviewing people at LinkedIn If you are being interviewed by LinkedIn for sales position, the process are generally like this: 1. Recruiter screening - usually being done by phone 2. Meeting: with a senior peer colleague, (probably with recruiter again) 3. Meeting: with hiring manager 4. Panel presentation / interview 5. Meet with a senior leader Sometimes it will be reduced to 3 steps but the experience will be pretty much the same. A few other things LinkedIn is looking at when trying to make a hiring decision, besides skills, experience and capability. Culture fit and passionate about LinkedIn is important, you are expected to learn LinkedIn and its ecosystem before the interview, you suppose to have some understanding on: Talent solution, Sales Solution, Marketing Solution what we call "hire, market & sale"). If an external is too proud and not bothering learning more about this, even qualification may be good, the likelihood of being hired is low. 3 key things you need to demonstrate during the interview: Leadership, leverage, result During peer and manager interviews, important factors to consider is whether you can FIT into the culture and the team members are comfortable working with you. If you are over aggressive sales or too formal making them feel boring, it is unlikely you will get hired. Sometimes hiring decisions are emotional.
