Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The interview process involved four steps:
- The first was an informal phone interview with the recruiter.
- The second was a phone conversation with two of LinkedIn's developers.
- The third was an online collaboration effort where the interviewer asked me a few code-related questions, and I had to solve them in real-time as they watched me code.
- The fourth interview involved a trip to their offices in California for a full-day assessment. This consisted of code questions where I had to solve problems on a whiteboard. After a lunch break, the day concluded with an interview with one of their managers.

Pros: All the Silicon Valley perks you would imagine: flexible schedule, food, transportation, etc.
A big emphasis on "ownership."
Cons: It's getting to be a big company, which brings all the politics and bureaucracy, for better or worse.

Pros: Aside from all the shiny things (free food, great compensation, and a very fun and inviting environment), this company has made me feel welcome.
The collaborative environment here at LinkedIn inspires relationship building and spurs creativity.
Because of it, I understand how each team contributes, why each is important, and how I can optimize to be a better contributor myself.
I feel encouraged to grow, but never pressured to overexert myself.
This is a company that preaches and practices good work-life balance.
Cons: I do feel like there is a ceiling at LinkedIn, but it is one that exists at any established company.
It saddens me to know that if I want to make something more out of my career, like break into a steady, high six-figure range or make a few million dollars, I'm probably going to have to move on to a different company.
