I am so sad and disappointed to be writing this but, LinkedIn, DO BETTER. I was really excited when they reached out to me an initial phone interview.
The recruiter was about 15 minutes late to our scheduled call time but he apologized. He was professional and informed about the role and was helpful in answering my questions. I asked how I could prepare further for the interview with the hiring manager and was told to review the "case studies".
There are literally thousands of campaign case study examples of LinkedIn. This is very vague so I chose to focus and prep utilizing 3 of them and spent hours doing so. The interview with the hiring manager was disappointing. Not only was I never asked a single question about the case studies, she was cold and did not at all embody what I would have expected from a conversation with LinkedIn.
I asked her what the team dynamic was and she told me and I quote that they "don't know each other".
Post-interview, even though I could tell this was a bad fit, I reached out to the recruiter for the hiring manager's email so I could send a thank you note. They never responded and I never heard anything from them again.
It is completely fine that I was not the right candidate for the job but this is not how you handle things. This made me really think of LinkedIn poorly and made me feel discouraged professionally.

- Tell me a time you had to convince someone to do something
1) HR convo, 1) written interview component (3 questions answered with a doc and sent to hiring manager), 3) 30 mins hiring manager interview, 4) case study presentation to a 3 person panel interview. Hefty data analysis compared to other companies with similar role; with 1 hour final interview (30 mins allocated to presentation). Questions were fair and prep time was adequate. Expectations were outlined fairly by HR partner.

There is a 3 step process to interviewing at LinkedIn:
- Screening call with recruiter
- Panel interview with hiring managers
- Presentation of a case study
After a positive first-round interview with the recruiter I was scheduled to meet with the hiring team. The call last around 45 minutes and was with two managers. I found the questions they asked straight-forward enough but was put off by the male hiring manager constantly speaking over the female hiring manager. It was evident that he was senior to her, and the behavior came across as disrespectful and tone-deaf. Although the interview went okay, I sensed there wasn't quite a fit with my expertise and the person the team were looking to hire. Ultimately I never received a follow-up from the recruiter or hiring managers which added to the unprofessional experience of the interview process.
Lastly, after doing my own research of the wider CSM team, I was concerned with what was obviously a lack of diversity across the department.

The hiring manager recruited me through LinkedIn, we had a 15-minute call, and she scheduled me with the recruiter, and then he ghosted me. This was a 30-minute call that I thought had gone well. After my second follow-up email, I got a bounced email saying his email no longer exists.
