I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Sept 2014
Interview
Contacted someone in my network and was able to get an interview. My contact reached out to the global supervisor who in turn referred me to the hiring manager. Had to reach out a few times to the hiring manager before I was able to obtain an interview appointment. The interview focused on my personal interests, how I had gotten to tech, and why I was interested in that specific position. Later, I asked questions about the team and the day to day activities within the division.

Question 1
No questions where asked, rather, I was asked to ask questions regarding what I wanted to know about the position.
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

Can you walk me through your experience at a high level?
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.
