The candidate described a loop that ran for **2+ months** and included **six to seven rounds** with **no take-home assignment**: > “The loop ran for 2+ months and ended up being six to seven rounds with no take-home: recruiter screen, hiring managers, case-heavy interviews, and separate behaviorals. No take-home, surprisingly! Almost every round blended casing and behavioral, so it never felt like I could fully switch my brain off one side or the other. The interviews themselves were candidate-led, with one interviewer feeling super collaborative and another much more reserved and watchful, especially in the cases. I feel like the biggest theme across the whole process was that LinkedIn cared a lot about story, stakeholder management, and whether I was actually AI-native versus just saying buzzwords.” > > — [LinkedIn BizOps & Strategy interview experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/linkedin-bizops-strategy-interview-d554d8) ## Related questions - [How do you handle conflicting customer requests?](https://www.aced.io/questions/229/handle-customer-requests) - [How do you resolve conflicting product requirements, and who determines which requirement takes priority?](https://www.aced.io/questions/2314/resolving-conflicting-product-requirements) - [How do you prioritize competing features?](https://www.aced.io/questions/4880/prioritize-competing-features) ## Related courses ### [Product Strategy Questions](https://www.aced.io/courses/product-strategy) ![Product Strategy Questions](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/5hHtTyOypgyKA7R3fxMlyl/dde193ecc09baabd8304c3aec25483f2/product_strategy_course_ab4d3cf294.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We explain how product strategy differs in the AI era and how to approach these interview rounds effectively within the new rules. ### [BizOps & Strategy Interview Prep](https://www.aced.io/courses/bizops) ![BizOps & Strategy Interview Prep](https://images.ctfassets.net/x78yjrjc11pq/4UiKk2RC0mwffqXcDuADSE/aa4e742618ba2e364b78a9e2a5276c6d/bizops_track_compressed_a18a42bcca__281_29_66d3d45075.jpeg?w=800&h=800&fm=webp&q=75) We help candidates prepare for operations and strategy roles at Google, Meta, Amazon, Uber, Microsoft, and other top companies.
