I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Singapore)

Interview

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)

Interview

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.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Sep 2023

Interview

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!

Property Manager

As a leasing agent for two years, I then worked my way to assistant manager for t 11 months. Then, to a property manager position, nine months into my new role as manager, I was terminated, with no warning, completely unexpected. How do I explain this undeserving action and embarrassment in an upcoming interview without any risk in the decision-making of my employment with the company I am interested in? I hope I am relaying this in a way that is understood.
