Interview
I got an email after 2 weeks of online application for screening interview from HR.
HR people are nice they ask some behavioral question based on our past work experience and ask about our field of interest in which I want to work. After that HR describes about various team working there they want to map you with the team in which you most interest.
This phone interview took around 12 min.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR try to map your knowledge and prior experience with team working there.
The HR person was quite friendly and contacted me almost immediately. They set up my technical phone screens and then she followed up quickly after them, moving me to the next round. After the next round of technical phone screens, she emailed me often asking when she could call, but "forgot" to call me for weeks. I was quite annoyed, but I let it go on.
Overall, the experience started off well but got steadily worse.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
First phone call was a phone screen. Second phone call was a technical interview, while coding on a shared document. The phone screen was basic questions asking you what team you want to work on, and that will match you up with your interviewer. I picked applications. The interview question was "Write a function to determine if a string is an integer."
