Application
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What trends do you foresee happening in the industry?
How does your experience match the job description?
Recruiter screen, HM screen, peer screen. I would not recommend joining the talent team. Interviewer was late to the TA enablement meeting and her questions didn’t make sense. She regurgitated everything I said, and really doesn’t seem like a thoughtful leader.

Tell me about your experience with AI
What are your strategies for using AI
Took 2 months to hear back from application time. Not the best experience, interviewer didn’t give much insight into day to day or culture. Took forever to hear back afterwards
Meet with hiring manager and team members. They set up time and talked about responsibilities and roles. Shared onboarding process. Ask your skill sets and what questions you have. They also ask if you have previous experience in program management and people management. Time management is important too.
