I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Dec 2014
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter through Linked In directly. Had an initial interview guaging my interest in the position. The initial interview answered most of my basic questions, and including a quick short-answer section covering Linux/Unix and TCP networking concepts. The second phone interview was a hands-on scripting interview. I was given a choice of scripting languages, and was expected to write scripts to process various log file examples.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most difficult question was the hands-on scripting interview. As a previous sysadmin I am not experienced with such formats, and my knowledge of Python was not at the level that the position required.
