Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I received the interview through Grace Hopper and had two back-to-back technical interviews in early October.

Four weeks later, I heard back and learned that I had passed the hiring committee and would now be moved onto the team matching phase.

They asked for location and work preferences and also told me that although a team match was not guaranteed, things were looking pretty good.

After waiting for six weeks, I was informed that all intern spots had been filled for the summer.

I had talked to other candidates during this process, and they said that LinkedIn could not even speed up the process for people with other offer deadlines.

I know this may not necessarily be recruiting's fault, but I would have appreciated some more transparency about the team matching process earlier on.

This has been the slowest and worst recruiting experience I have ever had.
