Had a phone screen, after which the recruiter jus ghosted me for weeks. After an angry email he called me, set up an interview. it was a case, and the hr got back to me saying the feedback was amazing and the interviewer loved me. And then he said he doesn't know which position to put me in. (Like's what? ). And he disappeared again for months and ghosted me again. The most unprofessional hr I'e ever seen. Horrible, why did I even have an interview.

Took 3 months, everyone was extremely kind and encouraging. Eventually offered me a contract job but I declined. I enjoyed the experience but it was drawn out unnecessarily, in my option.

InterviewI applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Francisco, CA)
Bad candidate experience. I had an interview with the hiring manager and never heard back from the recruiter. I sent an follow up email and received no response or email letting me know I was no longer moving forward. LinkedIn should know and do better.

Straightforward, interviewer tend to simply follow list of question and as I thoroughly answered the initial question, I had to repeat the whole thing multiple times. Overall pretty easy, most likely cause I’ve been doing similar work for some time. If you’ve done your preparation going through the company value, etc. it’ll be a breeze.
Interview Questions
- Example of a time when there’s a conflicting client priority?
