I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jan 2017
Interview
Got an invitation to solve a hour-long Hackerrank test. The test was quite challenging, but I managed to solve it in the nick of time. Got a call from a recruiter after, and went through an HR screening round. This was supposed to be followed by 2 technical rounds, but in my case, I had an extra final technical round after the 2 rounds. Technical questions are quite straightforward, but make sure you account for edge cases and think about how you would test your code. Read up on coding and testing best practices - they really place value on such things.
