I applied through other source. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sydney)
Interview
Got a call from Linkedin recruitment team to set up a call. The call was 40 mins late but lasted about 30 minutes - started with behavioral questions and then told me about the growth and business in Australia, the HR structure, the products they sell. Quite informative and well covered.

Question 1
It's a conversation really at the point in the process I reached. They wanted to know more about my consumer marketing experience. I had little considering my background was in much B2B. It was a bit of a let down that they held that in such high esteem over record, data management and program experience. I felt like it was a trivial point when it came to the rest of my background...
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Sep 2013
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews, supposed-to-be-five-but-turned-out-to-be-seven rounds of onsite interviews. 3 were system architecture and design related rounds. Found those a bit hard as compared to the coding & algorithmic questions.
Overall experience was average.
Post lunch interviewers were less experienced I'm assuming, because one of them yawned non-stop and a couple others had taken a vow not to speak during the interviews.
