Screening with recruiter. She got back to me about a day or two later. She said the next stept was with the hiring manager. Then the day before that interview they cancelled it and said I would be interviewing with a member of the team instead. The next step after that would be an interview with the hiring manager. I had a case interview with a member of the team which wasn't too difficult. And then I didn't hear back for over a week because it turns out my recruiter had gone on vacation. She had intimated that they would get to me in a timely fashion. That obviously was not the case. In the rejection email the recruiter wrote that the job role was "very popular/ generated a lot of interest." That's not really my problem and I don't see what the job's popularity has to do with anything. They probably should have done a better job of narrowing candidates for the first stage of interviews. Overall, LinkedIn's recruiting process left me with a really negative impression. I think they should take a leaf out of their parent company, Microsoft which has an extremely streamlined process without gaping holes. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is extremely ironic that LinkedIn's recruiting process is so haphazard, since its fundamental purpose it to help people find jobs.
