I have never experienced such a dysfunctional interview process. The phone interview was rescheduled 3 times, and it doesn't seem that there is much comunication in the HR/Recruitment department because when asked to give my availability, they came back with times and dates that I said I wan't available.
The process was not fluid at all with a great deal of "hurry up and wait". When I was finally was provided my travel info for my in person, ( 1 day before) with my fligh info, car rental info and hotel info I found out when I got there that it wasn't direct billed and I would have to pick up the cost and submit to them later, which isn't a problem but again clear communication would hae gone a long way.
Interview process lasted all day with very little time between interviews. Company did apear to have great energy and that great start up vibe. Recruiters that shuffled me from place to place didn't appear to me the caliber that I would expect from a company liked LinkedIn but heck, maybe I was expecting the recruitment area to be better in person than my experience over the phone ( I was wrong ).
I met with quite a few talented people through out the day so that helped to forget the experience that I got up to that point.
After the Interview I followed up with the "Thank You" emails and letters, but I heard ZERO feedback from the recruiters when I called, so I figured that they didn't like me for some reason. Well 2 months later I get a call from a recruiter going over a pre offer. Then weeks again go by and no communication by the recruitment team. I then emailed the recruiter about the company policy to get reimbursed for my travel and I get this very unprofessional email that stated" If you read the email that so and so sent you with your travel, it tells you what to do." WOW....
Well any remaining desire to work for LinkedIn evaporated with that email. When I did finally get an offer, I declined.
