The first interview was a phone screen with the technical recruiter. It was mostly an opportunity to hear about the state of LinkedIn and see if it's a good fit for you. The recruiter asked me about my current skills and roles.

The second phone call was a two-session, 45-minute each, phone code challenge using CollabEdit. The questions were both frontend questions about markup, CSS, and JavaScript. If you know these three intimately, you'll be okay.

The developers I talked with were really great and were genuinely interested in talking through the process with you, so don't get carried away just typing; talk through your process.

The last interview was onsite.

The recruiter met me at the lobby and walked me to the interview room, explaining how the interview process was going to go. They provided an itinerary with everyone's name on it, which was really nice to offload one more thing to stress about through the day. We had a great conversation about what the recruiter liked about LinkedIn, about where I currently work, and just life in general until my first technical interview.

Each technical interview (of which there were 7 questions) was about an hour, and a mix of culture/skills questions and whiteboard questions. These questions ranged from moderate to difficult, and they all required you to think through the process of solving the problem.

You really need to know HTML and CSS with 100% certainty, and you need to know your JavaScript well. There were two CSS challenges and five JavaScript challenges; almost all of them involved also writing the markup to correlate with them.

Overall, this has been the best interview experience I've ever had, and I've had some really great interview experiences. LinkedIn seems like the kind of place anyone with a passion for development/engineering would love to be.
