I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2019
Interview
Phone screen interview. It was as I expected it to be with minimal to no interaction with the interviewer during the coding questions. You would have to be really good figuring out optimal solution in given time or solved the question before hand. I was given a problem that required using a modified version of binary search. I was able to explain my approach but got caught up in the implementation part. The 2nd problem was easier since its on leetcode. Altho it was optimal and the code format was easy to follow, the feedback on the formatting was not good. I thought that's unfair. Another problem I had was I gave explanations to approaches for my solutions before and after coding. The feedback said I didn't communicate while coding. Not sure what the standard was for commination. It felt like I could say the same about the interviewer's communication.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jun 2019
Interview
initially contacted by linkedin recruiter and did a phone screen last month with two coding questions. And did onsite two weeks ago in Sunnyvale office. For onsite, two coding round of coding, one round of system design, one round of deep drive of resume and one round of BQ. Not a very good interview experience. Exceptionally for coding round, the interviewers spent much of time for discussion and I have only 10 mins for coding. I didn't have enough time to finish it!!! BQ is very boring and I felt that HM was not excited to talk to me.

Interview
I got referred by a LinkedIn connection, then a recruiter contacted by the end of the week. A phone call was scheduled first, where I was asked to talk about my work, why am I interested to work in LinkedIn and my relevant experience. After around 3-4 weeks a technical interview was scheduled, the name of the interviewer was emailed to me before the interview.
