I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Feb 2015
Interview
Similar to other people. Contacted me on LinkedIn for phone interview. Got it done quickly because i was expecting other offers soon. Scheduled back to back 45 min code interviews using colabedit. Felt really rushed. People left in the middle of my interview to catch a bus!

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
An internal recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn. There was an initial 30min phone call to talk about background and get the gist of how they're setup and the rest of the process. Then was a longer call with a senior developer to talk "shop". Next was a set of technical phone calls/collaborative coding sessions to test basic JavaScript and HTML/CSS skills, nothing too difficult, about 45min each. All of this took place within about 10 business days. They flew me out for an on-site interview (full day 10am-3pm; a series of back-to-back 1-hour technical interviews with devs, mostly white boarding code and logic, with a lunch conversation with the development manager and the day ending with a conversation with their CTO).
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Given a static comp/mockup, give the basic HTML with relevant classes, etc and explain why you chose to code it the way you did.
Given a simple JSON response consisting of an array of 3-4 similar objects made of the same properties w/ differing values, how would you transform them into another given format to be consumed/presented?
Given a interaction where hovering a link displays a tooltip of dynamic information (e.g.- Ajax), write the basic functions to perform the lookup (yes, jQuery is allowed) and explain how you'd cache the results so an HTTP request wasn't made if the tooltip already existed.
