I applied through university. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
2 calls, 1 fly-out interview. I did full day of interviews and after waiting for 5 FULL WEEKS they turned me down. The interview was actually pretty decent, but it was more than slightly disrespectful to have someone waiting for 5 weeks to say no. The recruiter was super nice, and he is the only saving grace as to why I didn't do a full thumbs down on this whole process, especially since future graduates are on edge with trying to pay back loans by securing a job. It it was a job transfer, the time length would have been less of an issue.

3 stages that are interesting! The first round is the recruiter round, the second is the pm round and the final is the final round, in each of them lasts about 45 minutes
Average interview. Consisted of a combination of case studies and work experience related questions. Initial recruiter round followed by HM round. And final 4 rounds with product managers onsite. Recruiter was amazing and very proactive throughout the process. Questions on Product strategy, Product improvement, stakeholder management and prioritization.
