I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Omaha, NE) in Sept 2015
Interview
The recruiter was great and very professional. My first interview was good but the hiring manager had problems with their bluejeans video chat. I made it on to the second round with a director and it didn't go well. She also had problems with their video software. She was about 10 min late and we had a 20 minute chat. She was more interested in my military background and why I left. Which did I prefer military or corporate? She seemed more interested in what I send my international team for care packages than my current experience which was very similar to what they were looking for. Honestly, i had a bad experience and felt that she didn't care for my veteran experience and the fact that I'm a also a minority, which is a very common trend with silicon valley corporations. Being a veteran is an asset, i traveled to over 25 countries, lead multiple teams, projects and I gained a ton of experience in developing reports. I left the military 8 years ago and I have done many great things since I left all with the same company. I don't know what she was looking for but I have an advance degree, I speak two languages, I have over 15 years of experience in leading people, I work for another tech company and I'm used to the pace and challenges of fast moving environment. I really good with data mining and sourcing. I got no real feedback from the recruiter so, I'm only left to wonder why I did wrong.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Why did you leave the military? Do you prefer military over corporate? Why are you leaving your current employer? Why linkedin? What are you known for? Are you good with data? How do you build rapport with your team? What do you send in your care packages to your international team?
It was fine . Professional and proper. Recommended . Be prepared
I wasn’t sure if I wanted the job but was curious about their organisation . They did as expected in an interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (New York, NY) in May 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn about a role they said I'd be a good fit for. Took 2 follow ups to the recruiter to schedule the initial call. Had a pretty straightforward recruiter screen. I've sent two follow emails to the recruiter and have not heard back. For a professional networking site, this is unprofessional behavior

I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Singapore)
Interview
Last minute cancellation, rescheduling and ghosting afterwards. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Would expect higher standards from the likes of this company but was not the case at all. Appears to have little or no structure or standards.
