I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mumbai)
Interview
Took around 2 weeks. Mostly on the phone interviews with managers all around the globe. Same questions in every interview. The interview with the Indian manager was the worst in terms of quality & questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I applied online and a sourcer reached out to me for an initial phone screen. She asked me some basic questions about what I've been working on and my salary expectations. Then I had an onsite interview with three members of the HR team. The interview was conversational and some behavioral-based questions. (Nothing too technical.) A few weeks later I was invited to speak with additional members of the HR team to ask me more job-related questions about how I execute on projects and my working style. It was straightforward.
