(for summer internship) got in touch with a recruiter through my friend who was recruited by her. One technical interview on phone and then got invited to on campus interviews. It was a group event where bunch of candidates for summer internship got together. Had two technical interview and one q&a session. They treated us extremely well and I was very content with the process throughout
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Initaially contacted via linkedin by a recruiter requesting permission to contact me in relation to a role. Followed by a telephone interview with the same recruiter. Then progressed onto a 2nd telephone interview with Hiring Manager based un US. Next step was to go into the linkedin office for an afternoon of interviews - met with the semior team manager and then 2 managers that the candidates would be working with on a day to day basis. The next portion of the interview were via video conference with staff in Californina - A 45 minute conversation with the hiring manager which included a working example of the role and how I would approach the issues faced within the role and the final part was a conversation with 2 existing business analyst from US team, his again included a presentation and working examples. Unfortunately I made it to the final round but was unsucessful in recieveing an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Business case was not very clear and left room for lots of ambiguity as you would expect. Felt that the analysts in the US were not engaging with the case and did not let me expand on potential areas. Also lack of laptop hindered ecxplanation as required to hold piece of paper up to web cam rather than screen sharing via vc - seemed odd due to the high level of technology in the office.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sydney) in Jun 2013
Interview
A very structured and detailed interview, however the interviewer himself was arrogant and acted like he was doing me a favour. I get that LinkedIn are doing well, but having a superiority complex doesn't reflect well on the culture.
