The hiring and interview process was very long and tedious. As a recent college graduate, I expected to jump through some hoops during the interview process, but not like this. It always seemed like I was constantly being handed off. It started with an internal referral. A month after the referral, I received an email from a recruiter in their New York office to schedule a phone screen. I thought this was strange since I was applying for the Mountain View, CA office, but we scheduled a time and date. When the time arrived, I got an email a half hour after our schedule phone screen, to reschedule. This should of been a red flag, but I moved on with the process. Two weeks after the phone screen, I was informed that I was selected for a on-site interview and I would hear from a recruiter in Mountain View about a time and date to come in. It took over 6 weeks to hear from the recruiter in Mountain View. And they wanted me to come in the next week for an on-site after 6 weeks of no contact. The actual on-site interview was well organized and professionally run, great experience. But the worst part of it all was the suspense after the on-site interview. The recruiter told the group that we would hear back, regarding an offer, in around two days or by latest the end of the week (by the New York recruiter). With their current track record, I should have expected this. Never heard anything by the end of the week. I emailed and called the recruiter in New York but did not hear back till the following week. Overall LinkedIn's interview process was not well organized and there was a lot of lag between recruiters.

The Interview process was great. The recruiter was responsive. It was an initial phone interview and then an onsite. Everyone on the panel was extremely friendly and informative. The culture at LinkedIn is fantastic and I had a great experience overall. The interview was mostly behavioral questions.
