Anonymous Interview Candidate in Singapore
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Singapore)
People were really nice but the interview process was unnecessarily long and therefore not enjoyable. Repeat questions were also asked suggesting lack of internal alignment. Did not think it was an effective process.

I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Jose, CA)
Very clear and straight forward, but maybe a bit too broad. Would be better to be more focused on the area of expertise. Coding questions don't really make much sense for data scientists anymore, basic level yes but not hard coding questions.
- Coding, Machine learning, and statistics

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Dublin, Dublin
I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin)
There were to be 5 interviews total: first the hiring manager; second, with the team; then a an assignment/presentation; and, a panel interview with senior leadership. It seemed straight forward but unnecessary to have 5 interviews.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Sep 2023
My interview process was a little different than normal but still had to complete the same tasks. Instead of a meeting with a recruiter I met directly with the hiring manager. From there I was asked to put together a pitch deck for a company of their choosing. Second interview was actually 2 interviews condensed into one hour and a half meeting. Mock discovery call followed by "tell me about a time" etc.. Overall great experience!
- Tell me about a time you had to change up your strategy on a call.

1. Basic Coding Challenge 2. 1 Hour with Hiring Manager, 1 Hour Technical with members of the team 3. Decision All throughout, there are short calls with your recruiter (likely non-evaluative)!
- Behavioral: be sure you can talk to your past internship experiences (technically challenging problem, something you're proud of, etc) Technical: DSA coding problems
