I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2013
Interview
first interview (phone) was with HR recruiter, who took me through the company in detail, the role and asked questions on motivations to move, my current experience, challenges I have experienced, what I most and least like about my job.
Then I went on to have phone interview with hiring manager, where I was explained in detail the day to day of the job, the software tools used, the process from data to insights, the influence the role can have on current customers, how the team and company is growing.
Overall a very good experience, however I did not progress from here, I am happy to have learnt a lot about myself and the process that LinkedIn uses to hire their future staff.
I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I had a phone screen then was brought back twice to interview with 3 different people each time. The questions were not too bad and I prepared myself properly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much do you think it cost LinkedIn to feed people each day?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Campus recruiting.
two rounds of phone interviews. both are for an hour.
first go through your resume for like 10 - 15 minutes. then given you one to two algorithm questions.
then onsite, there will be 4 rounds of interview. two of them is about algorithm which you need to write code, and one is about system design, and one is kinda like behaviour interview. sometimes, you get two rounds of system design interviews.
basically that's it. Linkedin's kinda easy comparing to other companies, and they are hiring a lot of people.
good luck!
