I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2014
Interview
The call came literally a day after I had submitted my CV for consideration and a very quick screening interview on the phone confirming my CV and people I already knew working within the business.
I was asked to take a phone interview a few days later which was strange as my current office was around the corner however this was news to the recruiter.
I will add the recruiter was extremely nice and friendly and came across very happy and upbeat. The phone interview went on for an hour and 10 min as we were both very chatty and at one stage the recruiter asked to speed things up around the 40 min mark. At the end of the interview he asked did I have any questions and then confirmed the next step would be to come in to the office and meet different managers and I would get a call on Friday. That call never came and instead I received a call the following Wednesday saying I was unsuccessful in my application as my answers were not detailed enough. Looking back the phone interview felt rushed and the questions could have been more specific as in this is exactly what I'm looking for as during the interview I did give a lot of examples of what I was looking for
One HR interivew, if you make it through following that two PM interviews, if you make it through following that another full day interview at office with 4 in person interviews.

Question 1
What is something you will change about linkedIn. Why do you want to work at LinkedIn
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2014
Interview
Contacted someone in my network and was able to get an interview. My contact reached out to the global supervisor who in turn referred me to the hiring manager. Had to reach out a few times to the hiring manager before I was able to obtain an interview appointment. The interview focused on my personal interests, how I had gotten to tech, and why I was interested in that specific position. Later, I asked questions about the team and the day to day activities within the division.
