I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Bengaluru) in Aug 2017
Interview
I had four rounds of interviews in total and all were video. The first interview was to test my SQL/R coding skills. The second interview was around experimenation - A/B testing, metrics etc., The third interview was on a bit of probability, machine learning techniques . The final one was with director of data science on a case study related to some linkedin scenarios and overall career interests. Even though all the interviews were set-up without any delay, what surprised me is that I didn't receive any response from the HR after all the interviews. I followed up for a month or so multiple times, but I received absolutely no response, which I have no clue why.
