I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Sept 2015
Interview
Had three interviews, first one was a competency based interview with the manager of the sales development team, second one was with HR, and third one was a presentation and role play with two team managers.
I went through a referral system and had 3 interviews, so I'd imagine there would be 4 - 5 interviews for candidates who didn't have a referral.

Question 1
What is it about sales that motivates you to get up in the morning, or does it?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview process was pretty redundant. I went through 3 phone interviews and 90 minute on site interview. I was asked the exact same questions during each phone interview, one definitely could have been skipped. When asked during the 3rd interview why I enjoyed sales, I gave the same answer that I had during the previous two (which both of them had been very receptive to), and the 3rd one reacted completely different and he told me that was the reason I didn’t move forward.

Interview
Extremely friendly interviewers, smooth process, many behavioral questions. In general a very interesting and enjoyable process, emphasis on open communication and cultural fit. It is important to show your interest both for the job and for the company as well as the industry and product.

Interview
Applied through employee referral and was contacted by a recruiter a few days later. The recruiter scheduled a phone interview with a hiring manager within two days. After the phone interview I was invited onsite. The onsite interview was about 2 hours. I then had one follow up phone interview three days later. A week and a half later I was offered the position.
