J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) en avr. 2018
Entretien
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter the next day. The recruiter was very helpful - she had a lot of information about the position and the interview process. After I talked with her, she emailed me with many tips and links to help me prepare for the interview. There was a separate person in charge of scheduling the interview who sent me the names of my interviewers and links to their LinkedIn profiles beforehand. I had 2 interviewers for the 1-hour technical phone screen. We spent 10-15 mins talking about my experience, ~5 mins on a warm-up coding question, and the rest of the time on a harder coding question. We had a slight technical mishap, but it was quickly remedied. We ended up going about 10 mins over so that I could ask them some questions. After the interview, it took 2 days to receive a decision. I appreciated their promptness in contacting me after I applied, scheduling the interview, and notifying me with the decision. Even though I did not make it to the next stage of interviews, I felt that their overall attitude was that they wanted to help candidates interview successfully rather than looking for reasons to reject people.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Write a function to calculate the maximum depth of a binary tree.
Calculate the shortest distance between 2 words in a word list. The word list is given to the constructor, and may contain more than 1 instance of each word. Example: "the quick brown fox quick jumps", distance(fox, quick) should return 1 (indices for fox = (3), quick = (1, 4), smallest distance is between 3 & 4)

Was greeted by a person who basically walked me around the office during my interview, did a couple of rounds with a group on a whiteboard solving a coding challenge, and one to solve a software architecture challenge. Had lunch onsite. And one round of interview with someone who wasn't technical.
