Interview
A LinkedIn recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn for a senior software engineer role..although I'm a better fit for junior developer (I mentioned this to them). The two interviewers called and asked me two questions (first was testing how well you remember strings/character manipulation, second was mergesort). The interviewers were completely quiet during the interview, and even when I asked questions, I had to ask several times because they were not listening. They seemed completely uninterested, and I had a feeling they decided not to like me after I failed to remember some concepts for the first question. Overall, horrible experience. I've had bad interviews in the past, but none where I felt the interviewer just didn't care to even listen. I would never interview here again. Even the interviewers did not seem like they enjoyed their job.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Started with a phone interview. It was an online coding session on collabedit. 2 problems were asked. Cleared the phone screen and was invited for an onsite. On site was 10-4pm. 2 coding rounds, 1 manager, 1 Design and 1 Technical Communication and lunch. I faltered in the coding rounds and didn't get an offer eventually.They focus a lot on time complexity of your code. My solutions were not optimal. The recruiters were really prompt in providing feedback and the whole experience was awesome even though I didn't get an offer.
