Process
I interviewed with LinkedIn for a software engineering position in April.
My interview experience was mixed. Some interviewers came across as knowledgeable and articulate, while others were one or the other.
There were times when the interviewer's poor communication skills hindered my ability to have a meaningful discussion with them.
Overall, the interview process at LinkedIn left me with mixed feelings due to a lack of consistency in the quality of the interviewers. I hope they fix this, because it seems like a great place to work.
