I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on the linkedin platform, due to my experience in network stacks. I had a phone screen, two technical phone interviews (coding on collabit), followed by an on-site interview. The process is unreasonably slow and at times a bit insulting compared to the interviews I did at Facebook and Google. It wasn't a terrible experience, but I would not consider going through the process again without first exhausting the 1st tier options out there.

Interview
Was greeted by a person who basically walked me around the office during my interview, did a couple of rounds with a group on a whiteboard solving a coding challenge, and one to solve a software architecture challenge. Had lunch onsite. And one round of interview with someone who wasn't technical.
