I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
As I was the first to apply to the position, my whole process from initial email to off was 3 months. It started with a phone call with the recruiter and then a phone interview with the hiring manager. Both the recruiter and hiring manager informed me that I might not hear back for a few weeks as it's company policy that they do need to consider other candidate.
The onsite interview lasted 3 hours with 7 different people. They came in groups of 2-3.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Apr 2016
Interview
Staff recruiter was 30 - 45 minutes late for phone screen. Usual type of questions asked, process felt rushed. Followup email received a week later saying thanks but no thanks

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (South San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I had an initial phone screen with a consultant that went well despite the fact that the consultant called 15 minutes late. Next I had another phone interview with someone from the recruiting team. Again, a positive experience. Finally I had a third phone interview with the hiring manager. That interview lasted only 20 minutes because the hiring manager also called late, and was in a rush.
I was invited to come to headquarters to interview by the recruiter but at some point in the process of working around hiring manager's schedule, that never got confirmed. Unfortunately, the lack of time and attention given by the hiring manager turned me off somewhat in the process, and I probably wasn't that interested. Also interesting note that the final word about the outcome came in an email from the recruiter at 1:00 in the morning. I guess they work some crazy hours at LinkedIn.
