      Executive Assistant Interview

      8 Feb 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2011

      Interview

      Initial discussion with the recruiter was good. He seemed very knowledgeable about the company culture, the culture within the group I was interviewing with and the specific job. He was able to answer my questions easily and thoroughly. Unfortunately everything went downhill for the in-person. The recruiter I had initially worked with went out of town so I was given another contact. That person sent me directions to the wrong building, when I arrived nobody seemed to know what was going on. Finally they told me to walk across the street to find the other building. The interview was very informal, I think they decided on the fly who would speak with me. The team members seemed in conflict about what the needs of the Executive were and when I spoke with the Executive that I was interviewing to support, that person seemed to have no idea what their needs were either??? The interview ran out of time and they asked me to come back later that afternoon or in the next day or so. When I followed up via e-mail I was given a tentative time/date for a couple days later, when I followed up to confirm, they never got back to me (this was the Hiring Manager)..................................still waiting. About a week later I e-mailed the recruiter to find out the status and never heard back. I did one final follow up and still never heard back. Finally, weeks later, I was sent a form rejection e-mail from their recruiting system. I have two pieces of feedback for them. 1. You should really just send a quick note to a candidate when you are no longer interested, it takes 5 seconds, it saves everyone a lot of hassle and I think it is just common courtesy. 2. Your company is located right in the middle of the Google campus, you are no doubt in fierce competition with Google, you need to be at the top of your game (I am speaking from experience with the Google recruiting process, and even though they are a giant company, it was still a more personal process......) Ultimately, LinkedIn lived up to the expectations set by most of the other candidates who have posted reviews of the interview process on Glassdoor.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They just asked general interview questions: "How do you deal with prioritization?" "How do you deal with conflict?" Etc.

      Executive Assistant Interview

      23 Apr 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Going through three rounds of interviews for the Executive Assistant position was quite an experience. Meeting with four different people throughout the process, I was struck by how friendly and approachable everyone was. It made talking to them a lot easier. Despite my best efforts, I didn't get the job. It's disappointing, but I'm thankful for the opportunity.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (New York, NY) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      Interviewed with fellow EA, three weeks later after hearing nothing they call and say the hiring manager wants to speak with me. The interview is set up then day of is pushed out a week. Then 5 minutes before the rescheduled interview is supposed to take place, the recruiter calls to say they have to postpone again. Talk about rude! I won't be rescheduling. You obviously don't value my time.

      Question 1

      They were basic EA questions, nothing out of the ordinary
