The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
at career fair, one of the engineer was interested in my experience and got invited to dinner with about 10 other students. Then after two weeks, a recruiter reached out to ask my preference for programming language and what other companies I was talking with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was pretty standardized. The interview just asked some basic background about myself and asked hash table, and asked to give run time analysis. This was like a refresh for memory. The second question was to implement the function for power and gave run time analysis. But I havent heard back yet.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
I applied through my university's online job search program. A few weeks later I got contacted by a recruiter. We chatted on the phone to see if the position was what I was looking for, and we set up a technical phone interview for the next week.
The actual interviewer was late since their interview room was double-booked. The interviewer was very difficult to understand over the phone since they were using speaker (there were two people on their end) and the room they were in was very echo-y. The interview was a very typical technical SE interview.
Two weeks after the interview I still hadn't heard anything from LinkedIn and I had two offers that I'd prefer anyway on the table so I accepted one of those and let LinkedIn know. Apparently the lack of information is somewhat common -- I know two other people who had to contact LinkedIn asking if they had a decision and the next day progress was made. So if you're waiting, give them a nudge and see if they response, I suppose.
