J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez LinkedIn en avr. 2015
Entretien
LinkedIn recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn :)
Phone interview was scheduled for the following week. Recruiter sent me LinkedIn profiles of interviewer. As mentioned my multiple other candidates, they usually have 2 person on the telephonic interview. 2nd person is usually shadowing the main interviewer.
I received a phone call at the scheduled time and was given an algorithmic problem. I started discussing my approach and had a working solution with good complexity. The interview kept pushing me towards his solution even though it was not an improvement on my solution in terms of complexity. I did not push enough to keep my solution and tried to implement the approach suggested by interviewer. There wasn't enough time to complete the solution and I was stuck in between since I did not understand clearly the direction he wanted me to go.
This was pretty bad, that interviewer was so adamant around directing me towards his solution. He was pretty rude as well and did not take time to understand my solution at all. I have interviewed with LinkedIn before (during my graduation) and was really bad experience there as well. The last time I even heard the other interviewer laughing as I was writing my solution.
LinkedIn, you are a great engineering company and I really like some of the open source projects you have, but I would never want to work with arrogant and rude people on team. I hope this gets communicated back to interview panel.

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.

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.
