I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I applied online. Got a phone call interview request after 2 weeks with HR. 4 days later I had another interview with my potential manager. Next day I was invited to the headquarters for face to face interviews. It was 4.5 hours long and different team members came to the room each 45 minutes. It was not an easy interview process. Last step of my interview, I was asked to demonstrate a pitch. It was a long run but worth it!

The process went very well - I applied through LinkedIn and after 10 min I already received an email to schedule the screening call. I had 3 interviews in total: Screening, hiring manager, and panel (mock call).
From the recruiter to the panel, all the people I interviewed with were absolutely amazing! I had such a great experience.
