The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Positive: The hiring manager was very professional and knowledgeable. Most of the interview questions were challenging, so I felt future teammates would be smart people.
Negative: Experience with HR was mixed. One person was very professional, very engaged. The other HR person booked me a flight ticket for 9pm-5am overnight flight. One interviewer was a bit unprofessional.

Question 1
Math/logic questions are fun but following Silicon Valley tradition, they are also difficult.
The interview process consisted of three stages: two one-on-one interviews and a presentation.
Overall, I found the interview to be straightforward, but I felt that I was rejected for trivial reasons. After this experience, I'm not sure I would want to work for LinkedIn at all. They also changed the role from perm to FTC.

Question 1
Tell me about time in how you would manage end of quarter priorities.
Questions and Case study with a personality test and review with senior stakeholder. Relatively standard process, but didn't pass the first HR interview so do not know the remainder of the process

Question 1
Why Linkedin? What do you like about the intersection between social media and business?
Found the application online and applied. Went through two rounds of interviews, asked to review a case study and present back to a board of team members. The whole process was virtual.
