I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Was contacted by a LinkedIn recruiter on LinkedIn. After a brief chat, he scheduled a 1 hour phone interview with 2 algorithm questions. After passing the phone interview, I was invited for a 5-hour on-site, with one algorithm session (another 2 algorithm questions), one system design question, one non-technical lunch session, one Android coding question, and one cultural fit session. A little over a week later, received word that the hiring committee would like to move forward, and one week after that was plugged into a team and got a written offer. Whole process from the time recruiter contacted me took about 5 weeks.

Was greeted by a person who basically walked me around the office during my interview, did a couple of rounds with a group on a whiteboard solving a coding challenge, and one to solve a software architecture challenge. Had lunch onsite. And one round of interview with someone who wasn't technical.
