I spoke with a recruiter, followed by a technical phone screening. The questions were SQL and R data manipulation problems, both pretty easy. I have terrible test-taking anxiety (always have) and explained that calmly and clearly. Still finished the problems in time allotted and maintained a positive, enthusiastic, non-defensive attitude. Saying that because I didn’t pass the screening by 0.1 point. The feedback was “you seemed really nervous”, said with clear judgment and disgust. They mentioned small syntax errors, but I corrected those and that happens in normal development, even by the most senior at my company. I currently work as a Data Scientist and have an MA in statistics so there is no way i’m not technically capable to advance in the interview process. I believe I was discriminated against based on my mental health (anxiety). I will never interview at LinkedIn or consider employment there again.

I applied online, got contacted for a 30-min HR screen call, then proceeded to a 1-hour Technical screen round. All the interviewers are very nice and professional. I did not pass the Technical round, because the role has much higher technical requirements than my skillsets. Technical screen includes 50% Python coding a Leetcode medium problem, 25% stats/experiment questions, 25% general ML questions. HR followed up with results in a personalized email and encouraged to reapply in the future.
