Question 1

I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Kuala Lumpur) in Feb 2026
Interview
Hr was helpful. Kept me posted throughout. She personally called me to update me on their decision as it was a Friday, so I wouldn’t be left wondering over the weekend
it was a 5 part process that had many people involved with full presentation that was very time-consuming all the people involved were great not too bad I would probably recommend them to a person I know
A number of rounds testing different skills and capabilities . A really good experience with different types of interviews . All interviewers were really nice to speak with and made me feel at ease . Everyone spoke very highly of the workplace and their colleagues
