LinkedIn Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Omaha, NE (took 2 days)

Very unorganized. The office in Omaha can be a shock if you are not prepared - people in shorts and hats, riding scooters around the aisles. There wasn't a conference room available to conduct the interview (which started 17 minutes late), so we had to evict someone from their office.

The two interviewers just asked standard, run-of-the-mill interview questions straight from a sheet. There was little to no interaction on their part - they seemed like they were just playing a role in a play.

My biggest complaint was the timetable associated with the process. I was informed several times that the company would be making a decision in a shortened timetable, in order to get the person in-house for training as soon as possible. I interviewed on Friday, and was told by both interviewers that I would hear from LinkedIn one way or the other by the following Friday at the latest.

After waiting until Tuesday (11 days after my interview) with no response from LInkedIn, I called them to withdraw my name from consideration. I was told that I was being offered the job, but at much less salary than was discussed - so that made my decision that much easier.

The office seems like a fun place to work, but there is little to no procedure and policy on how to conduct the interview process. When a candidate is given a timetable, the company should live up to those expectations, rather than permit the recruit to twist in the wind for an extended period of time.
