Negative experience
Average interview
Application
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2021
Interview
An ex-colleague of mine had declined the offer and referred me to the recruiter who called me the same week and put me through the process. I was then interviewed by a Senior Manager and the Head of the department. At times, it was obvious that the Senior Manager was not 100% focused on the interview, that even his manager had to call his name a couple of times to bring him back in focus. Very destabilizing for a candidate. I never received feedback from that interview. I contacted the recruiter a couple of weeks after that only to be told that he had left the company and that another recruiter would follow-up. that never happened. It's been a waste of time and a disappointment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know of the role you are applying for?
The HR arranged the two phone interview because the main responsible recuiter is different person.
They asked more about background and the expectation.
However, it's really unprofessional to received the result of the interview by system E-mail.

Question 1
1. Why do you wanna join LinkedIn?
2. Your background and experience
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Omaha, NE) in Mar 2017
Interview
I went through three interviews, one phone interview and two in person.
Everyone was super nice, the recruiter, the person at the front desk, and both interviewers.
I thought everything went really well, but unfortunately did not end up with the job.
The reason I indicated my experience as neutral is because I got conflicting feedback as to why I did not get the position, and that was a little bit of a red flag. Other than this, my experience was positive.
The questions were all typical "tell me about a Time when..." etc.
Also make sure you ask many questions as well...that is something they are apparently looking for.
