I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me via email to see when I could talk more about the role. She missed our scheduled call and didn't reply to my email saying I was free later in the day in case she was running late. She got back to me saying she was out sick that day and wanted to reschedule. She was very hard to get in touch with and I had to get ahold her through a combo of Linkedin messages and email.
Eventually, I saw on Linkedin that she changed companies! She gave me the contact info of who took over the job req, and luckily that person came through for me and I finally got a call with someone several weeks later.
The intro call was fairly long. The recruiter ask some detailed questions specific to the role and went into Linkedin's mission and growth/areas of business. It took over a week for him to get back to me that the team was interested in moving to the next step, which was a call with someone in the hiring team. It then took another week or 2 to even get that called scheduled.
Once it finally happened, I was asked how I'd improve Linkedin's product- both as an open ended question and in reference to 2 specific product features (I was able to choose which one I wanted to talk about/give recs on). Then there were standard questions like how do you interact with people who don't agree with your point of view and other behavioral stuff.
After the call, it took the recruiter a week to get back to me that I didn't make the cut. However, had I still moved forward, he told me early on that next steps would've been an on site interview (2-3 hrs of 30 min interviews w/different members) and then a 2nd on site interview to give a presentation on a project to see how you go about solving a specific scenario.

Question 1
How would you influence partner teams to prioritize your recommendations over others
I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Oct 2018
Interview
I received a request for a phone screen from the hiring manager a few days after submitting my application. The I received a calendar notification that the phone screen had been cancelled 1 hour before my interview without any communication from the hiring manager. I followed up to see if they wanted to reschedule, with no response. Very unprofessional.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018
Interview
Recruiter called for phone screen. She was very professional, she asked me questions about what I my current day to day looks like, how I perform analysis, why I was interested in this role, etc.. Nothing too technical. Then she explained the role in general, what product I would be working on, and how your performance is evaluated. Said she would let me know next week whether or not I moved on, but didn't hear back until 3 weeks later. No offer - they were looking for someone with much more experience for this particular product.
