The interview scheduling process was by far the worst in all my professional
career. My phone interviews got cancelled and rescheduled twice! During one
of the cancelled interviews, I was not notified the cancellation until 3
hours after the scheduled interview time!! Of course I was apologized for at
both events. But those apologies did not change my impression of LinkedIn:
the company was not mature, nor professional. I almost decided to take back
my application to LinkedIn.
During the onsite interview, I met with 6 or 7 data scientists. They did
treat me with decency and the interview process was professional. However I
felt those people only had a very shallow understanding of data analysis.
Most of them did not even have basic training in math and statistics. I
tried to give some of the interviewers a Statistics 101 lesson because I
felt they totally did not get what I said. Their so-called "solutions" to
the interview questions showed their math and data handling training was no
more than high school math (mostly limited to addition, subtraction, and
division). During the onsite interview I was very disappointed with the
knowledge bases of the interviewers, including the 3 or 4 "senior" data
scientists. I decided right after the onsite interview that I would never
work for or applied for LinkedIn.
Ironically a friend of mine asked me if I could give her a tip on the
interview since she was thinking to apply for LinkedIn's data scientist
position. I told her my story and she changed her mind right away. Both she
and I have happily accepted offers from another company as senior scientists
. What a pity!
