I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2018

I passed all the interview process, get an oral offer from HR, but they withdrew my offer after nearly a month.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
OA -> Recruiter Screen -> VO
OA consists of 2 coding questions. Recruiter screen was short and easy. VO was 1 tech + 1 behavioral with hiring manager. Process was overall pretty chill. Got offer after a few days. Recruiter was very responsive
Amazing interview process with very helpful interviewers. The technical interview consisted of 2 DSA questions one based on Binary Search Tress and other on priority queues. First one was pretty easy and the second one was leetcode medium to hard. The HR interview was about projects and my technical background.
