I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jul 2019
Interview
I was contacted for a phone screen after applying online. After an initial phone call with the recruiter, which they were late for, I was passed along to a phone interview which went well. I was told the next steps in the process were a phone call with the hiring manager and then an in-person interview and that the notes from my interview would be reviewed. Several weeks later I have heard nothing even after a follow up. This is so unprofessional. The first two items were rushed to be set up only to leave a candidate with zero feedback and no reply after time had been invested. I really wish employers would stop treating job candidates like this. We’re not at your disposal.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sydney) in May 2018
Interview
1. Recruiter Screen
2. Interview with Hiring Manager
3. Panel interview x 4 people (2 Sales, 2 Client Success) with a presentation which was provided with scenario a week in advance.
4. Interview with Senior Director
Initial recruiter screen was really great and one of your best employees (Claudia based in Singapore). We discussed salary and all required information.
Interview process was extremely long as it took 4 months. Initially started off really great, however as the process went on the responsiveness of the recruiters (3 in total throughout the period) started to diminish.
Mixed messaging throughout the process as was told that I was the top candidate but final call after chasing the recruiter was that I was too experienced. This should have been flagged by the recruiter before undergoing 4 months of an interview process and 4 rounds of interviews with 6 people ensued.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Prepare a presentation based on a scenario type issue within the business and how you plan to address the issue.
Interviews were less formal with conversations about work experience and how you would deal with particular internal situations / market issues.
