I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
1st call - Phone call with the Recruiter just to talk about what you've done and what currently interests you. Basically to directly communicate with you to see if you'd be a good fit for the company to want to go through the interview process with you
2nd call - Technical phone interview #1 using Collabedit. Given two questions to solve in one hour. First question was to find the lowest common ancestor given two nodes and the second question was to determine if two strings are isomorphic (there exact question can be found on this site)
3rd call - Technical phone interview #2 also using Collabedit. Given two questions to solve in one hour as well. First question was find the largest subsequence given an array that yields the largest sum. The second question was a modification of the first that required me to find the largest subsequence of the given array that yields the largest PRODUCT. Didn't complete the code for the second question in time.
Side note, recruiters were really easy to talk to and really speedy with their response.

Question 1
Nothing really unexpected or difficult. If you put the time out to study for LinkedIn, you should be more than fine.
