Senior Web Developer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I applied for the job online and received a call from a recruiter within a few days. She scheduled a phone interview to discuss basic information, and after a day, scheduled the next step, which was a technical phone screen. The questions were fair and expected to be known off the top of your head.
After one or two days, another call came to schedule the onsite interview. This took about five hours, chatting with different people, from general web developers to the director. I enjoyed the whole process: the one-on-one interviews had very fair questions and the interviewers were nice.
However, it took a week to get the offer after my onsite interview, which felt like a long time without any communication. The negotiation process was very good but tough.
The best part was the onsite interview process and negotiation. The worst part was the coordination in scheduling, flight tickets, and expense reports.
Questions
No, that's not really unexpected, I would say they asked very fair and real-world problem questions.

- 5.0Super exec team. Good dev environment. The team is getting big, and many things are no longer scalingSenior Web Developer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesNovember 11, 2013Pros: Talented developers. Kick-ass exec team who are passionate and sincere. Good food and a good dev culture.Cons: There are some growing pains. * Pains in growing culture: The culture is slipping, and there is the start of a few too many attempts at minimizing the pain with middle management bureaucracy. * Too many product folks building too many things not necessarily aligned to the company goals: There is more than a few projects being built for the sake of engagement. The bigger picture is not apparent internally and, for sure, externally to the actual LI users. * A few too many cooks in the kitchen: Sometimes there is too much architecting, talking, and emailing, and not enough action. Too many teams are building very similar tools only for themselves.

- 3.0A fun place to workSenior Web Developer • Current EmployeeJune 27, 2012Pros: LinkedIn is definitely better than most places. It's a lot of fun, and the people are really nice.Cons: I don't feel like much pride is taken in the work being done there. They don't put enough effort toward getting things right and fighting for the user. It seems like the business objectives come first, not the user/consumer.
