I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at LinkedIn (New York, NY) in Apr 2017
Interview
After the initial screening interview with a recruiter, I had 2 sets of interviews - a video with a team member and an on-site interview that included an assignment. Everyone were really nice during the process but the problem was that it took a long time between each interview and that was frustrating. Until this day I haven't heard anything after my final interview, I worked hard on preparing the presentation so at least getting an email with an update would be nice.

Question 1
An assignment for the on-site interview where they provided campaign data and I was asked to present it to a client
It was fairly straightforward and the communication was quick, timely. They were super friendly and the interview questions were basic - nothing too different from other interviews I've had. Honestly it was much more lowkey than I was expecting.
The interview process was structured and efficient. It started with a recruiter screening call, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. After that, there was a panel interview with multiple team members, including scenario-based sales questions and discussions around LinkedIn's products. The final stage included a role play exercise to assess communication and sales skills. Communication was consistent throughout, and they provided feedback quickly. Overall, it felt professional and fair.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to win over a hesitant client—what was your strategy?
Seemed well organised and the recruiter knew and provided a lot of key information. What was interesting is there wasn’t just a one off case study presentation. There was a case study embedded in the entire process
