J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) en sept. 2018
Entretien
I had a phone round where I was asked a few Java concepts followed by three coding exercises. The call lasted for an hour and the interviewer was nice to speak to. I later had an onsite interview with 6 rounds, of which 3 were system design and 2 coding questions. The process is exhausting as it takes 7 hours at a stretch including the lunch round. Most of the engineers were nice to speak to except for a couple of them. One Senior Engineer who asked me a system design question had a set answer in his mind and wanted me to come to that which I found annoying even though my approach was as good as his which he eventually agreed to. One of the coding round was with a junior engineer and he lacked experience which was clearly visible because he wasn't able to follow my code and also his instructions were contrasting from the beginning of the interview to the one at the end.

Question 1
Coding round was to implement a HashMap with primitives and find all the palindromic subsequence. System design rounds I would were specific to LinkedIn.

Interviewed for an SDE role. The process was well-organized and the recruiters were responsive throughout. That said, the technical rounds were significantly more challenging than expected — definitely come prepared to go deep. Overall a valuable experience regardless of the outcome.
That was a real stroke of luck — when I got to the coding round and encountered a question on finding the maximum subarray sum, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com a few days earlier. The interview kicked off with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical phone interview. It was intense, especially with the focus on algorithms and data structures. I also faced some behavioral questions that challenged my experience. After a final onsite round, I received an offer and happily accepted. Overall, it was tough but rewarding.

Question 1
Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum. Walk through Kadane's algorithm and explain the O(n) approach.

Overall, a good interview process and the team were very friendly during the interview process and it was very good and pleasant. Nothing in regard to negative feedback or anything as such like that.
