I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
I had 2 interviews with recruiters, and then 3 rounds of interviews with members of the Business Operations team. Each round was a 45 minute interview over the phone. They asked case questions, questions about LinkedIn products, and about general interest in technology.
Linkedin's HR team is by far one of worst HR teams I have dealt with. They are generally very incompetent at scheduling interviews, emailing candidates back in a reasonable amount of time, and providing any information on the interview process and timeline. As a candidate, I was always kept in the dark about what next steps were. The recruiter would rarely respond to my emails or update me on whether I was moving forward after an interview in a timely fashion-they would just go silent two weeks at a time.
For a company whose core product is to enable people to find jobs, it is ironic that their own recruiting team is so disorganized and unprofessional.
I interviewed a few years back and the process consisted of several rounds of interviews largely with case study questions to test product intuition, forecasting, performance management / investigation. I met with people from business operations, product, and engineering.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Metric X moved up/down. How would you investigate?
Very straight forward but lasted over 3 months with about 5 interviews between. Process ended with one batch interview day where I was interviewed by around 5 different people including hiring manager.

Question 1
General case interview, behavioral, tell me how you would solve this problem.
Mostly case interviews, 4-5 rounds of cases that are similar to MBB consulting cases, in fact their interview guide asks you to prepare using MBB casing materials and Victor Cheng courses
