I am disappointed if an interviewee hasn’t done that amount of research. Look me up on LinkedIn, read the firm website, etc.

Sending a LinkedIn request beforehand is a bit aggressive, although it happens. I wait until after the hiring process regardless of outcome to accept a connection with an interviewee personally but don’t mind connecting with people that interviewed even if they didn’t get the job. Always good to stay in each other’s spheres, you never know when another need will arise.
